About the DbI Review

The DbI Review is the official magazine of Deafblind International, bringing you insights, stories, and updates from the global deafblind community.
In 2020, we went digital to make our content more accessible and widely available. Each issue features articles, interviews, news, and announcements, published twice a year – in May and November.

Some editions are also available in audio format, marked with the   Spoken version  icon for easy access.

Explore past issues, subscribe for updates, and stay connected with the global deafblind community.
