Past webinars
In 2021, project officers of Deafblind Information began running live webinars on topics in deafblindness as part of their grant funded work to increase awareness and knowledge of congenital deafblindness. Following is the collection of recordings and transcripts of these webinars. The recordings of the Question and Answer sessions which followed with the live audience are also included.
Each video is Auslan interpreted.
These recordings can also be found in relevant sections on the website.
