About deafblindness Deafblindness is a unique disability. It is a combination of vision and hearing impairment. Many deafblind people may not be totally blind, but the combination of vision and hearing loss leads to unique challenges.
Many deafblind children develop additional physical, sensory and learning difficulties. Whether deafblindness accurs from birth or later in life, the effects can be challenging.
National Association for the Blind National Association for the Blind (NAB) is the Regional Learning Centre (North Zone) for developing services for deafblind people in Delhi, Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttrakhand. NAB works with deafblind children and facilitates their development by providing early intervention, assessment, education, vocational training and rehabilitation.
Sense International (India) Sense International (India) is a registered charitable trust and a pioneering facilitator of services to support people with deafblindness through out India. We presently reach out to about 37,000 deafblind people and their families through 37 partners including 4 Regional Learning Centres on deafblindness across the country.
