In Focus
for Deafblindness
Under the leadership of members of Deafblind International, an international team is currently in the process of developing the first version of the ICF Core Sets for deafblindness.
However, children with deafblindness and similar needs are often left behind.
Our 4-year campaign “LET ME IN” therefore calls for the immediate respect of their right to education worldwide.
The campaign thrives on close international cooperation, notably with the World Federation of The Deafblind WFDB.
