Incorporating Auslan (Australian Sign Language) into your program

April 30, 2020 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Incorporating Auslan
(Australian Sign Language)
into your program

Outline: For the last four years Andrea has been developing and implementing a program at Toowong Childcare Centre, integrating Auslan into almost every aspect of their learning. You will hear about their journey so far and experiences along the way. She will share research and support the learning of Auslan as an additional language so that you can show your families that it is of benefit to all children, not only those who are hearing impaired. Webinar attendees also learn some beginning signs to get you started implementing Auslan in your own service right away.

Age Range applicable: Birth – Prep

Presenter: Andrea Bulley is an Early Childhood Teacher in Brisbane. She has been interested in Australian Sign Language (Auslan) from a young age and an acquired hearing loss of her own has led to an intense passion for the language. She holds a Certificate IV in Auslan and a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood). She is passionate about ensuring that Deaf and hard of hearing children have access to opportunities in Early Learning environments that are rich in their native, signed, language.
