Melissa Evans, moving from tertiary hospital physiotherapy practise to community-based disability practise over 15yrs ago, began a passion, journey and immersion into the Deafblind community in Western Australia. Melissa was previously working with SensesWA but now has her own regionally based business CommunicationSW. She is the current treasurer of Deafblind West Australians Inc., a registered charity that provides support, networking, skill enhancement, social opportunities, and advocacy in the broader community. As a Deafblind Consultant, Melissa strongly feels that we should be in partnership with the individual during clinical sessions and, that understanding the sensory processing of each individual, will aid these interactions and outcomes.
