This Association was formed by private citizens in 1968 in response to
a need to provide faciltiies and education for deaf children living in
north Queensland. The Association was registered as a charity in 1969.
Principle sources of non-Government funding were the Mt. Garnett Rodeo
and the Shaws Arcade Car Park in Sturt Street.
Integration of deaf children into normal classes was a prime objective
and recieved support from the Holy Spirit School. Cranbrook and other
schools also participated. The first classes were in 1969 in church halls.
In 1974, a new classroom funded partly by the Association was built at
Holy Spirit School and it was extended in 1980.
By 1986 the number of infants requiring special education due to deafness
had considerably decreased, probably because of the availability of pre-pregnancy
rubella vaccinations.
