Several Port Adelaide Football Club players will use sign language to celebrate a goal at their inaugural AFLW clash to inspire deaf students they met through the club's healthy lifestyle education program.AFLW players taught the hearing-impaired students about eating wellThe club has been running the program in South Australian schools since 1999 but for the first time, an AUSLAN interpreter has been added to the class so deaf and hard of hearing students could be included.
Deaf Connect interpreter Maddison Inglis and AFLW players Liz McGrath, Gemma Houghton and Tess Doumanis at Brighton Primary School. "They see these players doing something fantastic and it really gives them inspiration and it changes a lot of their thinking and also gives them that little bit of awe struck," she said.
She said to have the information delivered by football stars meant the students would "walk away with really good memories".Ms Carlin said she hoped there would be more classes in the future that included an AUSLAN interpreter.
