LICA (Low Incidence Cooperative Agreement) serves students who are deaf or hard of hearing from age 3 through 21. We are a public school special education cooperative with 44 member school districts in the north and northwest Chicago suburbs. LICA provides diagnostic services, classroom instruction, itinerant support, and related services to our districts’ schools and their students and families.

LICA offers sign language classes twice a year - in the fall and in the spring.  Classes run 7-8 weeks each session and are open to parents, siblings, and other extended family members of LICA students.

Sign language classes are offered in four different versions:

  • Beginner - for parents and family members (ages 11 and up)
  • Intermediate - for parents and family members (ages 11 and up)
  • Children's - for brothers, sisters and buddies of children in the LICA program (ages 6-10)
  • Spanish - signs used in the LICA programs, but taught in Spanish for parents and family members (ages 11 and up)

All classes meet from 7:00-8:00pm on Tuesday evenings at the LICA office:
1601 Feehanville Drive
Suite 400
Mt. Prospect, IL 60056

Sign classes are on Tuesday evenings from 7-8pm.
