DBV are looking forward to welcoming you to this workshop. Below is an Auslan video with transcript, sharing feedback from a participant who attended last year’s workshop.
Heather: Hello, I’d like to ask you what you thought of our workshop today and what you learned.
Participant: Oh, a lot to think about, the deafblind experience, it was helpful to learn about the technology used, how you and other deafblind people live your life. It was amazing, thank you.
