Background

Deafblind Scotland is the specialist charity working with adults living with Deafblindness (dual sensory loss). Our ambitions are high for members and we are therefore at the cutting edge of finding ways to support people to lead their most meaningful life. Deafblind people are at the centre of all that we do and staff endeavour to work side by side with those who understand what it means to live with this condition. Deafblindness can be a devastating condition that can make daily life extremely challenging and as a result, many people living with Deafblindness become isolated. Our services can make a vital difference to their lives; enabling people to regain confidence, gain vital communication skills and re-establish social connections. Some people may acquire the loss of both senses where others may be born Deaf or with Visual Impairment and lose the other sense in adulthood through conditions such as Ushers Syndrome.
