CBC News: How this deaf and blind man is living independently — with a bit of help

Moving away from the family home for the first time can be a big adjustment for anyone, but for a man in Sturgeon Falls, Ont., it’s been quite a transition.

Alec Malette moved out of his parents’ house last year and lives in an apartment in Sudbury with a few roommates.

The 24-year-old is deaf and blind, and has had some help from DeafBlind Ontario.
