Government inquiry into Auslan access highlights disadvantages for Canberra's Deaf community
Kellyanne Rosalion and her seven-year-old daughter are both Deaf, but Ms Rosalion's husband and three-year-old are not.
She describes her household as bilingual, practising both Auslan and English.
But Ms Rosalion said when she first moved to Canberra the lack of early education concerned her, and to this day it still does.
"The lack of Auslan support in the ACT means that Auslan has become the 'lesser' language in our household," she said.
