Meet The Professionals
The production of this DVD has been a real team effort, drawing on the expertise of a number of professional individuals and organisations. The scripting, filming, editing, multimedia design, DVD authoring and production were looked after by the team at EyeGaze Productions.
Many of the health professionals mentioned below have kindly donated their time towards this project. This help has enabled us to ensure that the content of the DVD is suitable and practical for the Deaf community. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to all of them.
