This is wonderful, well done #MtRogers Primary. What a wonderfully inclusive and kind thing for a school to begin. Learning it early like this it will stay with all those children through other schools and later in life.
In the past #deaf or #hearingimpaired children have suffered from isolation, lack of confidence and often bullying. This will make a great difference to their happiness at school.
Beware parents, you may have to learn #Auslan as well, otherwise your kids will have a secret language they can use right before your eyes.😉

This so good, I couldn’t help but toot it. I never learned sign language but I applaud this school for making it available to students.

My Deafblind client and I encountered a signing Santa, Frosty the Snowman, and helper elf at Ingle Farm Village shopping centre. Santa even had a go at tactile Auslan after watching us

A question raised by discussion at the Deaf Club Christmas party: Is there a sign for Mastodon?

I love that it's called AEI, which is super memorable to sign in Auslan.
