Deafblind population Sense Report

By Ida Petretta

The Centre for Disability Research (CeDR) report has found that the number of deafblind people currently has been significantly underestimated and will be rising significantly in the future.  The report commissioned by Sense found that the present deafblind population in 2010 was 356,000 and over the next twenty years it will rise to 569,000 by 2030.
