'Auslan in da House'

Day & time - TBA

Cost:  Gold coin donation

'Auslan in da House' group practises finger spelling and conversational skills with Lou.  Lou's background with Auslan and the Deaf Community spans across the past three decades. 

Being a parent of a Deaf son, Lou made it a priority to learn about deaf culture and language, and immersed herself in the Deaf Community.  Acknowledging and respecting the Deaf Community, it's people, culture and language,  Lou's experience includes working alongside, and mixing with deaf people on a professional level as well as socially.  She has attended and presented at conferences in Sydney, and has previously worked for five years as a paraprofessional level interpreter with TAFE, NSW.  

A purely 'interest' group only, no certificate awarded nor qualifications gained from joining - simply a group of people interested in learning some basic conversational Auslan in a respectful, relaxed and comfortable environment over a cuppa.
