I have been working with deaf people for just about all my working life. I also have travelled extensively around the world, and lived in London, the UK, for nearly 20 years, before moving back to Australia over 4 years ago.
I also have worked with Deaf people and attended Deaf events around the world, and have worked in a range of roles, and this includes the senior management of services to deaf people, and people working with deaf people.
My different experiences have given me a great insight into deaf culture and the needs of deaf people, no matter where they live or what they do.
After I returned to Australia, I worked in a range of different roles, all directly related to the NDIS. I have worked on both sides of the “fence” as a Planner at the NDIS, and with 2 NDIS service providers.
Armed with comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the NDIS and on deafness in general, I decided to take the plunge and set up my own business - Communication Extra!
Some of you have asked me what my logo means, and what the name of my business means.
Simple!
The 3 hands depict 3 people reaching out to each other:
1) the client
2) the support coordinator,
3) the service provider.
In this relationship, everyone is equal. No-one is more important than the others. Everyone has Choice and Control, especially the client.
Imagine the 3 hands are holding onto each other. This means that services and supports are passing through each of them to the others. If one of the hands lets go, that means that a decision about choice and control has been made and everyone is free to move on and follow their own paths.
Also the hands depict Sign Language, whether it is Auslan or some other form of visual communication using the hands.
As for the name “Communication Extra”. Communication – I believe in open communication with everyone.
And for “Extra” – I offer something extra! I am one of only a very few independent Support Coordinators in Australia specialising in working with deaf people.
