Originally called Breakthrough, deafPLUS provides a range of services for deaf people in the UK. These services range from the deafPLUS advice line, independent assistance and equipment services and others aimed at promoting independence and wellbeing.
deafPLUS describe their mission ‘to empower deaf people to take control of their own lives, by developing their potential and supporting them to achieve independence.’ And their vision of ‘an accessible world for deaf people, with barriers to participation and opportunity removed.’
It is fantastic to see the development of deafPLUS over the last forty years, and we thank them for being a part of creating CACDP.
