In her book Unheard Voices, Dawn Mauldon reflects on her own experience as a CODA - child of deaf adults, growing up in post war Melbourne.

She also delves into the experiences of her mother's childhoood, as a deaf child in the 1920's.

Now aged 79, Dawn views her memoir as an historical document which shows generational change in terms of inclusivity and accessibility of those who are hearing impaired.
