It is DeafBlind Awareness week. We recently posted that DeafBlind International, in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, is delivering a series of webinars on Zoom to share knowledge, learn from each other and (re-)connect. The 1st DbI webinar series is around the theme Living with Deafblindness in a New Reality.
Good luck to DBI with the huge undertaking of such a wide range of webinars. Below is a reminder of what was on offer.
