Auslan, the Language of Inclusion!

Auslan, the Language of Inclusion!

Auslan Day is on April 13th, is a day dedicated to celebrating Australian Sign Language (Auslan) and recognising its importance in the Deaf community. As an official language in Australia, Auslan plays a crucial role in facilitating communication and promoting inclusivity.

For many Deaf individuals, Auslan is not just a means of communication; it is a fundamental part of their identity and culture. Auslan enables Deaf people to connect with others, express themselves, and participate fully in society. It is a language of empowerment and inclusivity, breaking down barriers and fostering understanding between Deaf and hearing individuals.

Auslan is not a barrier; it's a bridge that connects the Deaf and hearing worlds.

Mia Rowe

NDIS Registered Behaviour Support Practitioner

Mia has a background in psychology and disability care, bringing a genuine passion for helping individuals enhance their wellbeing and quality of life. Growing up in a household with lived experience of disability has given her a personal understanding of the impact these experiences can have on both individuals and their support networks, shaping her empathetic and person-centred approach.

 

She holds a Bachelor of Psychology and Arts, majoring in Performing Arts, and values ongoing learning. Mia is currently completing postgraduate studies in Positive Behaviour Support, further strengthening her ability to provide evidence-based support tailored to each individual.

 

Outside of her professional work, Mia is highly creative and actively involved in theatre. She volunteers as a social media content creator, musician, and costume designer, viewing creativity as a meaningful way to connect, communicate, and contribute.

 

Her favourite quote sums up her outlook perfectly:
“Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.” – Dr. Seuss
