Recently, our Deafblind Recreation group visited the Botanical Gardens in Melbourne.
Able Australia, in partnership with Deafblind Victoria, have created a 12-month Recreational Program for clients who use our deafblind services and the wider deafblind community. This program helps people from the deafblind community to come together, socialise and try new activities.
The group and their Communication Guides had a beautiful day walking around the gardens and touching all the different plants and flora.
