DESCRIPTION:The hugely popular Deafblind Convention is back and bigger than ever! We will be joined by world class speakers who will focus on the topic of ‘Embracing Change’. \nDeafblindness brings constant change; it’s an ever-evolving cycle and those who live with it have to manage\, cope and adapt.
