Being able to read, listen to the radio, watch television,
browse the internet, use the phone or engage in conversation can
all present problems to deafblind people.
Some deafblind people become extremely isolated, depressed and
withdrawn because the only way they can receive information is
through face-to-face contact.
Information needs to be offered to deafblind people in a variety
of formats in order to make it accessible, and so that it conforms
with requirements set out in the
Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (this link
will open in a new window).
Special equipment and alternative formats of information can
help some deafblind people. Examples of alternative formats include
large print, Braille and audio CD.
