The week aligns with the birthday of
Helen Keller (June 17) and is an opportunity to call attention to deafblindness, raising awareness in our wider communities.
This year, the theme is
#SeeHearUs.People living with deafblindness can face barriers and challenges, but all-too-often there is a focus on what is not possible or challenging, rather than what they can achieve.
Our
campaign has been developed alongside the people we work with, and calls for recognition of the skills, capabilities and abilities which every individual has.
