Advocacy Initiatives

95% of what we learn about the world comes through sight and hearing . Children wih deafblindness face unique challenges in communication, mobility and accessing information making deafblindness one of the most isolating disabilities.

Sense India and the need for Deafblind Advocacy

Advocacy forms an integral part of the Sense India strategy for influencing others to make a bigger impact. It is a process through which we influence policy and practice to bring about positive changes in the lives of persons with deafblindness. In the process, persons with deafblindness and their families are empowered to take control of their lives, have choices, and are able to secure access to basic services and representation, as full and active members of society. Sense India has been successful in developing services for children with deafblindness, initiating human resource development and representing persons with deafblindness in the mainstream legislations and policy of the country.
