Kellyanne Rosalion and her seven-year-old daughter are both Deaf, but Ms Rosalion's husband and three-year-old are not, so she describes her household as bilingual, practising both Auslan and English.
"Auslan is my daughter's first language, given it was the only language fully accessible to her due to her deafness," she said.
But Ms Rosalion said when she first moved to Canberra the lack of early education concerned her, and to this day it still does.
