Belinda Doonan
Resume
My name is Belinda Doonan. I was told that it is possible that I was born with 25% hearing loss while my mother had German measles when she was pregnant. Then I was diagnosed with hearing loss at the age of 4.
I went to a deaf school from year 6 until high school. I learnt sign language and was able to communicate with other deaf students and friends. My husband is also deaf but he grew up as an oral which means learning to speak and lipread and he knows a little bit of Auslan.
Now, I have performed at Cherry Tree Childcare for the last 8 years, teaching kids basic Sign skills. Eventually will perform at other childcare centres. I love it! I am excited to teach you some basic Sign skills here, if you have any questions or are curious, please ask me at any time…….
