Early Education

Taylor is enrolled in an Early Education Program at a school for the deaf. There she has completed the equivalent of three and four year old kinder and she is currently completing Prep. This has been instrumental in teaching Taylor to communicate again. All of Taylor's lessons are delivered bilingually - both in spoken English and Auslan. Children are encouraged to communicate however they feel most comfortable. She has access to regular one on one sessions of speech therapy, as well as occupational therapy and physiotherapy, as needed.

Taylor is being educated in an environment where the focus is on one's abilities, not their disabilities. And in this environment, she has thrived. She is learning to read and is in the top Maths group in her class. Taylor has an amazing peer group of deaf children, children with whom she is able to communicate. Children who are so amazing and accepting. Children who are her friends.
