I would like to inform you that recently a CD ROM has been released called "CONTACT" written by Bernadette van den Tillaart & Dr. Marleen Janssen. The subtitle of this cd ROM describes its content rather well: Understanding of specific characteristics to build up reciprocal interaction with congenital deafblind persons. Both of the authors of the CD ROM  have been staff members of  "Instituut voor Doven at Sint-Michielsgestel, The Netherlands, where we worked together to develop an educational method for deafblind children that is recognized all over the world.

This CD ROM provides detailed information on the process of interaction between the deafblind child and his/her educator. It gives an extensive explanation of the interactive process and therefore, is most appropriate for persons who already possess a good deal of knowledge about interaction and communication with children who are deafblind.

This product can be obtained by making a check of $40  payable to Mr. Joe Franken
