Another stimulating exchange activity!
On December 2, the 5th exchange activity of the Deafblind Community of Practice (CoP) was held via webinar, focusing on The Correlations Between Auditory Processing Disorders and Cortical Visual Impairment.
Thirty professionals participated in the meeting and showed great interest in neurological disorders. Our sincere thanks to Christine Sauvé-Guindon and Pascal Lafrance, experts in deafblindness, for their generosity and clarity of expression. They mentioned that research is currently being conducted by Dr. Jude Nicholas in Norway. A book on this topic is also in preparation.
Members of the Deafblind Community of Practice will soon have access to the presentation and an audio-video recording of the activity on the community’s web platform. Stay tuned! Another Deafblind Community of Practice exchange activity will be held in February 2026.

The community of practice: Vitalité 2025 survey results (Part 3)
We are pleased to present the third and final article containing the results of the survey distributed to members last summer.
A few questions were designed to gauge members’ opinions on the impact of joining the CoP. The responses were striking: 85% of respondents believe that the community’s activities enrich their knowledge and develop their expertise in deafblindness in a comprehensive manner. Of the 26 respondents, 21 mentioned that their organization directly benefits from the knowledge acquired through the CdP’s activities. This suggests that the CdP’s influence extends beyond the community! Other respondents pointed out that membership in the CdP broadens their professional network (62%).
With regard to reading habits (e.g., scientific articles on deafblindness, events, etc.), 81% of respondents said they consult the documents posted on the community’s web platform after receiving an email notification. Others do so when invited by a colleague.
Respondents also shared their preferences regarding the topics covered in online exchange activities: 85% of them would like to participate in activities focused on solving clinical cases in groups. Your voices will be heard!
The responses obtained during this consultation activity will enable us to further tailor the activities offered to your preferences and needs. Thank you to all members who took the time to respond to the survey!
