Back by popular demand, members of DeafBlind Victorians will deliver their interactive hands-on presentation DeafBlind World that shows what it is like to be deafblind. The presentation will outline the different types of deafblindness and the different ways that deafblind people communicate, depending on the nature of their condition and whether it was present at birth or acquired later. For example, someone who grew up deaf and experienced vision loss later in life is likely to use sign language, others who grew up blind and later became deaf are more likely to use a tactile mode of their spoken/written language. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session.
This session is limited to 15 people. Please sign up at the registration desk.
