Welcome
Kia ora, and welcome to the home page of Deafblind Association New Zealand.
The Deafblind Association NZ was established as a charitable trust in 2014. Deafblind Association NZ is a not-for-profit organisation and receives no funding from central government and is required to source funding to finance the support it provides.
There is much to do in raising awareness of what dual sensory loss means. We are inspired by the need for the deafblind to have an improved connection with their communities – geographical, online, individual, local, national, and international. Though communication can be a challenge, we are fostering healthy, accessible engagement between the deafblind, their whānau, service providers, funders, non-government organisations, and local and national government. Fostering relationships through active participation is front and center to what we do.
