Deafblindness is the loss of sight and hearing to the point where your communication, mobility and ability to access information are affected.
June is also the birth month of Helen Keller, one of the most internationally recognized people who lived with deafblindness. She is one of the best-known deafblind people in history, famous for her political activism, lecturing, writing, and for being the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. She campaigned tirelessly to improve the treatment of deaf and blind people and to raise awareness of sight and hearing health.
OPSEU President Warren (Smokey) Thomas says the union is dedicated to improving accessibility for all Ontarians.
