Rehabilitation for people with combined visual and hearing impairment - a digital conference
With this conference, we at Eikholt want to emphasise the focus on rehabilitation for people with combined sensory loss/deafblindness. The theory of person-centred rehabilitation forms the basis of the Eikholt model that has recently been developed. The model is the result of continuous development of the service and has taken us to where we are today. The conference will provide an insight into both the theoretical basis of person-centred rehabilitation and the Eikholt model, as well as practical examples of what this rehabilitation process can include.
Everyone is welcome to attend the conference. Click on the attached link to follow the conference live: Conference Rehabilitation for people with combined visual and hearing impairment
