- Scuba Instructors: Scuba Instructors use ASL to communicate underwater due to the lack of communication in any other form.
- Audiologists: Audiologists come into contact with Hard of hearing individuals every day. American Sign Language is a must-have skill for audiologists.
- Speech-Language Pathologists: Though SLP’s don’t often come into contact with the Deaf, they do come into contact with many non-verbal people who may use ASL in place of the spoken word.
