International Day of Deafblindness 27 June
Recognizing Deafblindness: a distinct disability requiring specialized support and inclusion. Deafblindness is a combined vision and hearing impairment of such severity that it is hard for the impaired senses to compensate for each other, and is thus a distinct disability with its own specific challenges, barriers and requirements for support and inclusion, different from those provided to individuals, who are solely deaf or blind.
