ALT Members and staff smiling and laughing around a table with lots of coffee cups and plates. A white text box overlays the image reading: Deafblind Scotland is Scotland’s only independent membership organisation for deafblind people. We provide advice, support and opportunities that help enable deafblind people to take up their rightful place in their own communities and work to ensure their voices are heard across society.
ALT Two members engaging in hands-on signing in a wooded area outdoors. A white text box overlays the image reading: What is deafblindness? Deafblindness is a unique disability that combines sight and hearing loss, making it hard for one sense to compensate for the other. This impacts communication, information receiving and mobility.
ALT Members smiling with their hands raised in the air, at the top of a hill. The text reads: We focus on four key areas that all come together to shape the work that we do: membership, education and awareness, advocating for change, and participation.
