NDIS
Make sure you talk about us with your LAC or NDIS Support Coordinator.
Tell them “I want a program with Deaf Chef Ross to help me improve my cooking and eating (diet).”
It is important to make sure you have it in your NDIS plan.
Purpose
People who are deaf or hard of hearing face barriers to accessing information in a linguistically appropriate and culturally sensitive format. As such, their knowledge and skill with regard to food and cooking means they often make unhealthy choices.
Programs delivered by providers using Auslan interpreters can lack that direct, deaf-friendly cultural approach for deaf people.
Now we have Deaf Chef Ross!
