Hi yes this is awesome heather and peter. The Deafblind Victorians met this individual in the Philiphines last year.Trudy ------------------------------------------ From: Heather Lawson <lawsonhj@xxxxxxxxxx> To: dbaust@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; Subject: [dbaust] Re: Brazilian db Hi peter Thanks for sharing with us about this. I heard about it and wanted to know what it was about. Something that around the world for deafblind people and supportors start to find ways to communicate in any places, they can be in any social inclusion. I remember when I played pokies for 10 mins. I asked a friend to do haptic on my back what the screen say eg credit numbers etc. I thought It was great idea but need to practise lieke that. However I am not a gambling person.
