11th National Deafblind Conference 2022

18/07/2022

Did you know that you can still register to watch presentations from the 2022 National Deafblind Conference?

The conference was hugely successful in professional collaborations, learning outcomes and educational opportunities, and building connections within the deafblind community.

The theme of the conference was “Deafblind Keeping Connected through COVID and beyond” and over three days of presentations, keynote and invited speakers, platform presenters, and people with lived experience shared academic views, research outcomes and their personal reflections on the impact the global pandemic has had on the deafblind community.

To register and watch presentations from the conference visit:

Registrations are open until the end of July.

“G’Day my name is Dan Talko and I have Usher syndrome type 2A and I’m dam proud of it. I spent a lot of my life trying to hide and pretend that I didn’t have it but, in the end, when I opened up when I was vulnerable, when I was able to own it I was able to then be my true self and become so much better. I want to show you how not to do it.”

Dan Talko will join SensesWA to share his own personal story of living with Usher syndrome at the upcoming National Deafblind Conference.
