Our DeafBlind Retreat is happening this week! Hear from Paul Ducharme, Aerospace Machine Operator and long-time retreat attendee, as he shares the profound impact the retreat has had on his life. “Something that I really like about the retreat is the role modeling that happens. We have different generations of DeafBlind people and people who are at all stages of their journey as DeafBlind people. So, the younger people have folks to look up to. It’s a place where a lot of people really develop a strong DeafBlind identity.”
