Deafblind training
I can design and deliver disability training to meet your specific needs, aims and objectives. I use a range of methods to engage participants and provide evaluation of the impact and outcomes of any package.
I am an experienced trainer in deafblindness, multiple disabilities and other rare conditions. I have worked with family groups, school teams, project teams, therapists, schools, universities and service leaders.
