AUCD - SIG: Deaf, Blind, and Deafblind

Interested in issues, policies, and research that impacts individuals with deafness, blindness, and deafblindness? Join us! The Mission of the Deaf, Blind, and Deafblind Discussion list is to support people with disabilities, their families, and those who support them in by providing national and international leadership in the areas of research, education, service, and dissemination related to disability, religion, and inclusive supports. Our goal is for the Deaf, Blind, and Deafblind Discussion list to include seminaries, advocacy groups, and networks who are interested in this same mission.

 

 

Special Interest Groups, or SIGs, are made up of individuals in the AUCD network who have a common topical interest. SIGs, which are open to anyone in the network including trainees, serve as a mechanism for sharing information, engaging in dialogue, and generating new ideas. SIGs are led by one or more individuals from the network (with AUCD staff support if needed); they typically meet in-person at the AUCD Conference and may share information via emails, conference calls, or webinars throughout the year. Because SIGs are driven by the interests of the AUCD membership, new SIGs may emerge while ones that have run their course may disband.
