I was at the seminar and I was completely delighted.
It was valuable to me that we were told by specific people who live with their own features, and not by specialists who studied interaction, understanding, etc.
What I learned that I could not read anywhere else, had not heard at other seminars, which was valuable:
1. An excellent comparison is that people who hear weakly or do not hear at all, like foreigners;
2. A great addition to the interactive moments to the seminar: we learn to speak using Russian sign language, sing, interact with the actor; we try to feel what it is like when you have one hand, but you need to get dressed; feel different and go with a guide dog or do exercises in complete darkness;
3. That total blindness is rare. For myself, I solved the questions with the explanation of colors for blind and visually impaired people.
Thank you so much for your work.
It was important and valuable for me to spend the morning and afternoon at the seminar!
