Powerful words from Deafblind UK members breaking stigmas and assumptions, letting the world know that sure, being deafblind is a part of who they are, but it does not define or stop them from living full and passionate lives💜 #DeafblindAwarenessWeek #AlsoImDeafblind

To achieve our vision for deafblind people and their #RightToBeSeenAndHeard, deafblindness must be normalised and understood by all. We fully support, advocate for, and believe in the Nordic definition of deafblindness. #DeafblindAwarenessWeek #DefiningDeafblindness
Image of staff and members sitting around a campfire in a wooded area. Below the image is black text which reads: Deafblindness is a combined vision and hearing impairment of such severity that it is hard for the impaired senses to compensate for each other. This, deafblindness is a disability. Above the image is the DBAW logo, and the hashtag #RightToBeSeenAndHeard

Hands-on signing is one of the ways that you can communicate with someone who is deafblind. Check out this demo of the deafblind manual alphabet from Ben this #DeafblindAwarenessWeek, and how you can book a deafblind interpreter on our website: bit.ly/3JtjbyQ

Marie shares her experience of being diagnosed with Diabetes. Deaf people often don't have the same access to health information as hearing people. Even after a diagnosis, without an explanation in BSL, it can be hard to get the information we need about our health! @DiabetesUK
