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.
