Objectives

Our vision – is to create a world where people living with deafblindness thrive, empowered by knowledge, support and equity.

Our mission – is to enable people living with deafblindness through holistic care and assistance, pioneering research, transformative education, influential advocacy, and innovative technology integration.

Activities

We want everyone living with deafblindness to receive the personalised and specialised services they need, at every stage of their life. To do this, we focus on five key pillars of impact:

  1. Working with the wider community to improve the care, support and information people who are impacted by deafblindness receive.
  2. Educating others including those who are impacted by deafblindness and the wider local, national and international communities.
  3. Researching deafblindness to better understand the condition and identify interventions that will improve the lives of those affected by deafblindness.
  4. Influencing the decision makers for the benefit of those impacted by deafblindness and their communities.
  5. Supporting the use of technology for people who are deafblind and for those who work with people who are deafblind.
