CIICA LIVE: The Impact of the Pandemic on CI users, Families and Services
This, our fifth CIICA LIVE event, on the eve of International CI day and our first birthday, was on the topic of the Global Impact of the Pandemic on CI users, families and services. Our global network shared their experiences of the huge impact of the pandemic – in ways which may be obvious and others not so obvious. What have we learnt and what do we need to think about for the future? How do we ensure that access to CI and the necessary lifelong services are fully recognised in spite of the challenges?
Thanks to Leo De Raeve (Belgium) our Acting Chair, and Cathy Birman (Sydney) for chairing so well and to PINDROP NEW Zealand for producing our compilation video. You can see this at https://youtu.be/zovpw3DgTU0
