COMMUNICATIONS AND DISABILITY
LIVING WITH DEAFBLINDNESS
Imagine living in a world with no sight and sound. Sadly, this is the reality for ex-Service members of national charity, Deafblind UK.
Deafblind UK enables and empowers their members who live
with a combined sight and hearing loss to live their lives.
As a result
of this disability, they experience daily challenges associated with mobility,
receiving information in a format accessible to them and communication, not
to mention isolation and social exclusion.
Practical,
emotional and financial support is offered from the National Centre for Deafblindness
in Peterborough, a building that is designed with the needs of deafblind people
in mind. The Centre is open to visitors Monday–Friday.
Len Ounsworth, a Navy veteran from Gravesend, receives the quarterly publication
Open Hand in large print; he uses a CCTV reader to enable him to read the
text independently.
"their services have
helped me in many ways"
