New Releases: Two Volumes Co Edited by Walter Wittich

The CRIR is proud to highlight the release of two new volumes co‑edited by researcher Walter Wittich, both dedicated to the field of deafblindness.

One focuses on learning, education, and support of deafblind children and adults, while the other centres on communication with people who are deafblind.
