The first steps after learning a diagnosis such as deafblindness or sensory disabilities are essential for a parent. The first months are an extremely difficult time for these families, with many questions and intense emotions. What does early intervention mean? How can we stimulate the child’s remaining hearing and sight? How can we ask for family support and what services can we access?  

The guide was developed with the help of over 70 parents who shared their experience, so that it would be as useful as possible for parents at the beginning of the journey.
