David Brady ~ Biography
David was born profoundly deaf. He has a younger brother and sister who are both hearing. He grew up in the rural town of Armidale, NSW, where there were no deaf peers within his age group.
David’s parents were given a choice: send David to a specialist school in Sydney or stay in Armidale and enrol David in mainstream schools with support from the local town's deaf unit. The latter was chosen.
At that time, there were only two specialist teachers in the north-west region of NSW. It was a struggle. Despite this, David overcame the challenges and studied hard to qualify for University.
David’s view:
"I see life as a challenge and being naturally enthusiastic and competitive, I love undertaking new experiences showing everyone that being deaf does not really hold you back. You simply find a way to achieve whatever it is you want in life.”
