Introduction to Deafblind Awareness
Do you want to improve your understanding of deafblindness? Or learn to communicate effectively with a deafblind person?
Join our free Introduction to Deafblind Awareness course, conducted online via Zoom and co-facilitated by a project coordinator and a deafblind individual. The session typically lasts up to 2 hours, but we can accommodate special requests if needed.
The key topics we cover include:
- Lived experiences of a deafblind individual.
- Communication requirements and preferences.
- Examples illustrating visual and hearing loss.
- Techniques for guiding a deafblind individual.
We are currently campaigning for a legal definition of deafblindness in Scotland, therefore this is a great opportunity for organisations to upskill their staff and raise awareness of deafblindness more widely.
We have availability on our November dates. If you are interested in participating, please contact me at [email protected]
