2. A little about me

left eye impairment, and mild
Cerebal Palsy.

received a cochlear implant.

3. I would like this workshop to be
interactive but don’t feel you
have to participate. If you have
something to share please raise
your hand
This is a safe space, please treat each other with respect.
4. Who here has assistive technology at home?
- And what happened before that technology came into your life?
10. My own communication styles history
- I grew up speaking English; for me is tricky
- Big misconception that deaf people cannot speak or speak well. I am
proof that it’s not true.
- Didn’t learn Auslan (Australian sign language) until I was in high
school, to which I taught myself the language. Unfortunately after I
left school, the school finally made Auslan as an elective language.
- Leadership program opened up the world of deaf-blind language.
