Building more inclusive communities starts with understanding, practical skills and opportunities to learn.

Through our Learning and Development department, Sensity recently partnered with LAMP Community Health Centre in Etobicoke to deliver Intervenor and Sighted Guide training, sharing knowledge and practical experience to help strengthen understanding of deafblindness, sensory loss and communication.

Facilitated by Cullen Drew, Learning & Development Specialist, the sessions brought participants together for thoughtful questions, meaningful discussions and opportunities to learn from one another. The training also marked Cullen’s first time delivering training in the Greater Toronto Area!

Reflecting on the experience, Cullen shared:

“The thoughtful questions, meaningful discussions and insightful conversations made the sessions interactive, enriching and enjoyable. I appreciated everyone’s openness and willingness to share their perspectives and experiences.”

We’re grateful to Boris Nwachukwu, Program Manager, and the LAMP team for helping coordinate this opportunity for shared learning and collaboration.

At Sensity, we believe sharing knowledge beyond our own workforce helps build understanding, strengthen community capacity and support more accessible and inclusive environments where people who are deafblind can communicate, participate and connect.

🎃✨ Pumpkins, paint, and plenty of Halloween spirit! 🎃✨

Our Kingston crew recently gathered for a fun and creative pumpkin carving and painting night. With their intervenors by their side, Hannah, Martha, and Katie transformed ordinary pumpkins into Halloween masterpieces while enjoying a relaxed evening filled with laughter, creativity, and seasonal fun.

One pumpkin was extra special this year: Katie chose to create a Molly-inspired pumpkin, and we think it turned out absolutely paw-fect! 🐾🎃

From carving to painting, the evening was all about expressing creativity, sharing smiles, and making memories together. We can't wait to find out what everyone creates next! 🧡

🐾💙 A few wagging tails made for a memorable afternoon at Sensity.🐾💙

During a recent visit from Therapeutic Paws of Canada, individuals who are deafblind spent time getting to know some gentle four-legged friends through touch, interaction, and shared moments of connection. From curious noses to soft fur and plenty of cuddles, the dogs brought comfort, joy, and smiles to everyone they met.

Thank you to the dogs and Therapeutics Paws of Canada team for helping create such meaningful moments. We always look forward to your visits! 🐶✨
