Deafblind Awareness Week 2026: #SeeHearUs

Deafblind Awareness Week is an important opportunity to raise awareness of the experiences, challenges, and achievements of people living with combined sight and hearing loss. This year's theme, #SeeHearUs, encourages everyone to recognise deafblind people as individuals with unique voices, experiences, and contributions to our communities.

At Carron PA Support, we are proud to support deaf and deafblind people to live independently, access information, connect with others, and participate fully in everyday life. As a qualified Communicator Guide, Carron understands the importance of effective communication, accessibility, and person-centred support.

For many deafblind people, barriers can exist in daily activities that others may take for granted. Accessing appointments, navigating unfamiliar environments, attending social events, or simply having conversations can require specialist support and understanding. With the right support in place, deafblind people can lead active, independent, and fulfilling lives.

The #SeeHearUs campaign reminds us that awareness goes beyond recognising a condition. It is about listening, learning, and ensuring deafblind people are included in decisions that affect them. It is about creating accessible services, improving communication, and challenging assumptions.

Throughout Deafblind Awareness Week, we encourage individuals, organisations, and communities to take time to learn more about deafblindness and consider how they can make their environments more inclusive. Small changes can make a significant difference.

At Carron PA Support, we remain committed to empowering deaf and deafblind people through practical support, advocacy, communication assistance, and guidance tailored to individual needs.

This Deafblind Awareness Week, let's work together to ensure deafblind people are not only seen and heard but truly understood.
