About the Presenter:
David Brown

Since entering the specialist area of deaf-blindness in 1983 David Brown has become a leading and well-published practitioner in the field. In his roles as Head of the Family Education and Advisory Service of SENSE (the National Deafblind Association) in the UK (1983-2000), and as Educational Specialist for California Deaf-Blind Services (since August 2000), he has worked with over 500 children and young people with deaf-blindness.

For 25 years David has been writing training manuals for universities and other training organizations, and publishing articles on a variety of topics in journals and magazines such as “Talking Sense”, “Deafblind Education”, “Eye Contact”, “Special Children”, “Deaf-Blind Perspectives”, “reSources”, “Deafblind International Review”, “The American Journal of Medical Genetics”, and “Child: Care, Health and Development”. His writings have been translated into French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, Greek, Japanese, and Russian.

David has contributed to staff training courses in the UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay, Portugal, Greece, Germany, India, Australia, and New Zealand. He is in constant demand as a conference speaker. Since 2000 he has presented at CHARGE Syndrome Conferences in England, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, France, and Germany. In 2013 he presented at conferences in Phoenix (Arizona), Salt Lake City (Utah), Washington DC, London (UK), Stockholm (Sweden), and Berlin (Germany). David has also worked as a consultant with the state deaf-blind projects in Arizona, Idaho, Hawaii, Colorado, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Florida, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. In 2014 conference presentations and staff training courses are planned in Maryland, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Texas, Utah, Germany, the UK, Norway, New Zealand and Australia.

David has a credential in the Education of Students with Multi Sensory Impairments from the University of Birmingham, an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Central Michigan University for his research work with children with deaf-blindness, and was recently awarded the Deafblind International ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ for  “innovative and visionary work with people with deafblindness”.
