The Dual Sensory Impairment Project held an annual Christmas party in mid-December! We celebrated 2024’s achievements, discussed challenges, solutions and big plans for 2025 projects, chatted about our holiday fun and ate a delicious array of food! Our chief cheerleader Suzie was absent, although we mustn’t feel sorry for this as she was in France enjoying her beautiful new apartment, and the team got to chat with her over the phone.
We’re looking forward to a lot of activities in 2025, including:
- A project studying the ‘Impact of Low-Cost Hearing Assistive Technology on Members of a Deafblind People’s Organisation in Indonesia: A Pilot.’
- Dr. Moira Dunsmore is conducting a pilot trial with carers Another research study: ‘Developing integrated care models for older adults with dual sensory impairment (DSI) and their family carers.‘
- Ongoing work on a carers and consumers handbook.
- Ongoing work on a training module that will be attached to this website.
- FILLING IN THE GAPS & JOINING THE DOTS: The First National Dual Sensory Impairment – Deafblindness Conference, November 2025.
- The members of the Dual Sensory Impairment Project will be presenting at different conferences, both in Australia and overseas.
- And much more!
