I found this a really personal piece to write, and the moment discussed here really did capture in a lot of the very complex issues surrounding disability and technology.

My short blog about the 18th #Deafblind International World Conference now on the @DeafblindUK website. @DbI_connect deafblind.org.uk/the-18th-de…
Just finished a great couple of days with our @itdfproject mentors Russ Palmer and Riitta Lahtinen. Talked the upcoming BMJ Medical Humanities special issue, Social Haptic Communication, Haptemes and Haptices, and tried out new haptic kit from @actronika and @bHaptics.
I loved it - though my brain is so full of ideas I'm going to need to buy a bigger hat!
Thanks, Russ and Riitta! Always a pleasure!
