Imagine you couldnt see or hear how would you communicate? The chances are you would rely on touch to make sense of the world. You might use the deafblind manual alphabet shown overleaf, spelling out words to have a conversation. Or you could use symbols, braille, sign language or other methods to get your message across. Sense is the leading charity working with and campaigning for the needs of the 23,000 people in the UK who are both deaf and blind. We also work with many of the thousands of people who have a combination of sight and hearing problems plus other disabilities. Sense believes everyone has the potential to learn and communicate, provided they receive specialist support.
