YOU can...

Close your eyes.   Cover your ears.

Imagine trying to understand the world.

6-year-old Lauren is growing up in Kingwood, Texas and she is deafblind.

She needs help learning how to communicate and access the world around her.

There is a solution.

The world can be explained through an intervener's hands.  Lauren's intervener costs her family $1000 a week and is sustained by fundraisers and donations. See our Intervener FAQs to see why we believe the intervener model is best for Lauren and why we have to pay for it with no government support. Visit the DBMAT website to see information on how that group is trying to change that for all deafblind people.
