Dr. Eugene Bourquin, DHA, COMS. This session will review the history and research in the area of communication between deafblind travelers and the uninitiated public, exploring the basic general principles that underlie effective interactions that allow the traveler to get the information and assistance necessary, efficiently and consistently. The focus will be on low-tech solutions, and feature the task of street crossing as an archetypal tool. Learning will happen through lecture, PowerPoint presentation, and videos.
