Since 1982, CDBA-NB Inc. has provided support and services to deafblind individuals and those who are deaf and/or blind with associated disabilities, as well as to their families, throughout New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

Deafblind individuals require access to an Intervenor to act as their eyes and ears, enabling them to communicate, develop skills, interact with their environment and participate fully in society.

The NB Chapter is governed by a Board of Directors who volunteer their time and expertise to set the organization's policies and direction. The day-to-day operations of the organization are developed and supervised by a capable management team under the direction of the Executive Director. Our staff of more than forty Intervenors provide intervention services.
