Helping deaf and blind children
On average, one Australian child is identified with impaired hearing every day!
According to Australian Network on Disability 1 in 6 Australians are affected by hearing loss. There are approximately 30,000 Deaf Auslan users with total hearing loss, and projections for 2050 indicate that one in every four Australians will have hearing loss.
Tracey McCann, head of RIDBC Teleschool, tells us more about it.
