Our Technology Advisory Project provides advice and information about assistive technology for deafblind people. Some of the events from our busy year are: - technology information on our website received over 400 visitors each month
- we published two editions of a catalogue of products
- we held two forums where deafblind people shared information about successful and less successful technology
- a training day for professionals in the south east received positive feedback
A key priority has been to deepen our understanding of deafblindness and share this information.The National Collaborative Usher Study has enabled us to provide a much better quality of information to people with Usher and their families, and aims to find out if certain genes are responsible for making the condition more or less severe.
Sense’s library is growing from strength to strength. It has a growing collection of specialist materials on deafblindness and in 2006/2007 enjoyed an increase in loans last year of well over 400 per cent.
More information is available in our help and advice section and our publications and library section.
