This year, the focus will be on making more people aware of what deafblindness is, dispelling myths and showing how diverse the condition really is.
What is Deafblindness?
“Deafblindness is the loss of sight and hearing to the point where your communication, mobility and ability to access information are impacted. This includes ‘progressive’ sight and hearing loss; where your sight and hearing may deteriorate over a period of time. Deafblindness is often also referred to as ‘dual sensory loss’ or ‘dual sensory impairment”. Learn more about deafblindness at deafblind.org.uk
