This week is Deafblind Awareness Week. As being deafblind doesn’t necessarily mean that people are completely deaf and/or blind, there are many factors to consider to ensure that the 450,000 people in the UK can access and interact with your digital content. Factors such as the need for inclusive media, keyboard accessibility, alt text descriptions and more. Read our two guides which give top tips on changes that you can implement to assist all users.

Having inclusive language, based on the underlying model of practice is a critical component in supporting applicants on their journey, especially so on something as pivotal as a major adaptation. These journeys are often accompanied by significant challenges and missed opportunities, with many requirements and barriers needing to be addressed. Involving the applicant and communicating inclusively is key to ease this journey. #majoradaptations #OccupationalTherapy Foundations - National Body for Home Improvement Agencies

The Bascule Entertainment logo sits beneath with the strapline: Inclusivity. One Story at a Time.

Imagine someone who is Deaf and has to work double or triple hard to achieve some success. What about the Deaf who have other disabilities, which is called Deaf+ (Deaf Plus)? Talking about double that double! Yes, even we people who are Deaf but with other disabilities have to work twice as hard to show the Deaf community that we can do so, but triple that with the hearing community. Talk about dealing with multiple communities (Deaf community AND disabled community). Something to ponder on! Joshie. #Deaf #DeafCommunity #Disabled #Disability #DisabledCommunity

To assist people online who are hard of hearing to listen to your media, or in fact anyone visiting your website, ensure that your audio is high-quality and media controls are present for users to adjust the volume to their need. As an added bonus, crisp and clear audio with minimal background noise will also help with the accuracy of automated captions!
