Communicator Guide Service for the Deafblind (9/2021 - 8/2024)

We were grateful to Centaline Charity Fund for the generous three-year grant to support “Communicator Guide Service for the Deafblind” since September 2021. Specially trained communicator guides provide one-to-one “Communication” and “Guiding” services to the deafblind to facilitate communication and provide human guide, escort throughout the community. Communicator Guide Service provide access to the community for the deafblind and empowers them to make decisions for themselves based on the visual, environmental and social information provided.

 

To raise public awareness of deafblindness and promote the concept of an inclusive society in Hong Kong, the Centre organizes public education seminars and professional training courses regularly. Communicator guides provide services only if they acquired recognized qualifications and enhance their skills by participating in training courses.
