Deaf and hard of hearing awareness taster
Understanding combined sight and hearing loss and the deafblind experience
Accessible technology, resources and developments, including equipment demos
Overcoming barriers to access and inclusion discussion
The work of Sensory Services by Sight for Surrey and connections with Surrey County Council

Previous attendees said:
“It was helpful to take part in practical examples of what it’s like to have a vision impairment. It was also helpful to see how much Assistive Tech can help too.”
“It was brilliant. The session on the hard of hearing and deafblind experience was very insightful.”
“Enjoyable and inclusive training – I could not think of anything that could be improved.”
A British Sign Language video is available to watch in the link here.
