Welcome to ADBN

The Acquired Deafblindness Network is an international network consisting of professionals from different countries working in the field of Acquired Deafblindness. As deafblindness is a low incidence disability the extent of activity in any one country will not be enough to maintain a distinct identity for this field. International networking and the sharing of information is therefore essential to the development of the deafblind field and quality services for deafblind people.

The Acquired Deafblindness Network (ADBN) is recognised by Deafblind International (DbI) and was established in 1989. ADBN has a coordinating group representing 6 different countries who meet twice yearly. Its aim is to create and support a network of people who are involved in the world of Acquired Deafblindness.
