Parents may find it useful to obtain support from other people who are in similar situations. Ask your Regional Adviser about the Sense Branches , or other local support groups. It is important to look at the leisure choices that may be available. Many people who are deafblind can enjoy a wide range of leisure activities - from swimming to canoeing, horse riding to rock concerts. Ask your Regional Adviser about what is available, or enquire at your local library.
Local libraries are a good place to find out about local clubs and groups.
Local Deaf Clubs can also provide some friendly support. There are a range of sporting groups and facilities in every town and most of them will welcome new members. Your local Sense Regional Adviser can help you find out what is on offer in your local area.
