Deafblind International Communication Network webinars
“The Deafblind International Communication Network are delighted to be hosting a series of three webinars. The first webinar on Early Intervention in April 2021 had over 100 participants from all over the world.
This third webinar is based on research and on A framework for learners developing bodily-tactile communication and tactile sign language skills (2021) by Steve Rose. Steve Rose is a Speech and Language Therapist and consultant on Deafblindness in the UK.
The webinar series is aimed at family members of children and adults who were born with deafblindness or those with limited language (speech or sign) who wish to develop their own communication skills and the skills of their deafblind family member.*
There will be three webinars on the same topic run in different time zones, so families can choose the time zone from their region.
During the webinar it is possible to ask questions in the chat. Registrations are essential.”
*Practitioners are welcome.
