Older people with hearing and vision impairment, and others with sensory disabilities, are often overlooked or under serviced because the people around them don't understand their unique circumstances or how to connect.
A new book initiated by a Charles Sturt University expert encourages readers to think about sensory loss and communication as part of a biopsychosocial view of health, and includes contributions by 30 experts and academics in the field from around the world.
Professor Sharynne McLeod from CSU's School of Education says in her foreword that the book is a ‘treasure’ that epitomises the inclusion of ‘everyone’ and upholds everyone’s right to communication
It's a valuable resource for scholars, educators, and clinicians and offers evidence-based practices to support work with individuals experiencing loss of their vision and/or hearing.
