Deaf clinical psychologist Dr.Joanna Atkinson introduces the 'Deaf and Dementia' project to a group of 800 holidaying pensioners at the annual England Deaf Darby and Joan event in Lowestoft. Interviewing 150 of this healthy group of Deaf people is the first stage of the research project, involving 3 leading British universities.

The project also aims to improve awareness within the Deaf community so individuals can be diagnosed early and accordingly supported.
