Deafblind Scotland Learning and Development Centre

East Dunbartonshire

The Deafblind Scotland Learning and Development Centre was purpose built following a fundraising campaign led by deafblind people. The building is fully accessible for deafblind people and continues to be developed.

Join us for a guided tour showcasing accessibility features, the centre's journey through a visual exhibit, a look at the specialist IT suite, and a chance to try equipment from our lending library, such as the Ruby Magnifier and Alexa Show. You'll also have the opportunity to visit our recording studio, try out Braille and Moon writing, and explore our tactile art exhibition. Additionally, a short animated film on human rights for deafblind individuals will be available for viewing. Take a guided walk down our tactile path and experience it with simulation spectacles to understand varying eye conditions. 

There will be tours at 10:00, 12:30, and 15:00 (this tour will be BSL interpreted). Tours can take between 12-14 people and last 45 minutes. 

There are also a number of BSL and Guiding Technique Sessions over the weekend.

11:00 - BSL and Deafblind Manual Session (up to 10 adults or children), lasting 40 minutes.

11:45 - Sighted Guiding Techniques (up to 6 adults or children), lasting 30 minutes. 

13:30 - BSL and Deafblind Manual Session (up to 10 adults or children), lasting 40 minutes.
