I can understand it could be a problem, though. I pretty much ignore any of my other family members who try it; easy enough to do, since they're mostly about 1,000 miles away. This flyer does seem to be a little too "family" oriented, in my opinion.

It bothers me as well. I want the DeafBlind to advocate for
themselves and often family members are those that impose barriers
to communication and the DeafBlind individuals pursuit of
independence. (Note: these are my personal views)<br>

<div>Does it bother anyone else that this flyer is so totally
directed towards families of DB without even lip service to
including DB people and they being involved in directing and
leading this kind of activity? I know some family are good
allies and some DB people are small children, but the whole tone
of this and even the website is not even inclusive of DB people
themselves. All directed towards families and professionals. It
makes me shudder.<br>
