Pascal Lafrance discovered deafblindness over 12 years ago when his daughter Ariane was born with CHARGE syndrome. He and his family moved to Ottawa so their daughter could attend a specialized classroom at Centre Jules-Léger. Already a qualified teacher, Pascal then completed his specialist courses in deafblindness at the Faculty of Education at U Ottawa. He has worked in a deafblind classroom for several years before shifting to a consulting position at Consortium Centre Jules-Léger (Ottawa). Over the years, he has acquired valuable experience and attended many conferences as a parent and as a professional, with a special interest in sensory rooms, Cortical Visual Impairment and CHARGE syndrome.
