2. The Usher Syndrome Page

   http://www.deafblind.com/usher.html
   
   Extractions: What is it ? Usher syndrome is an inherited condition which results in hearing loss and a progressive loss of vision from Retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The hearing loss is thought to be congenital, and ranges from moderate to profound. RP can occur without hearing loss. The condition is named after a British ophthalmologist, C.H. Usher, who in a paper in 1914 described several cases in which the link between congenital deafness and RP was stressed. However, as far back as 1860 workers such as von Graef and Liebreich in Berlin were aware of the link between congenital deafness and RP, especially in consanguinous marriages. This term describes not one disease but a group of hereditary diseases of the retina. The retina is the light sensitive tissue inside the eye in which the first stages of 'seeing' take place. With RP the retina slowly degenerates and loses its ability to transmit pictures to the brain. In advanced stages characteristic clumps of pigment appear on the retina and can be seen through an ophthalmoscope.

Her articles have been published in the Journal of Vision Impairments and Blindness, Deafblind Education, and regional newsletters. July 2003 Revised What Is Deaf-Blindness? A person who is deaf-blind has a unique experience of the world. For people who can see and hear, the world extends outward as far as his or her eyes and ears can reach. For the young child who is deaf-blind, the world is initially much narrower. If the child is profoundly deaf and totally blind, his or her experience of the world extends only as far as the fingertips can reach. Such children are effectively alone if no one is touching them. Their concepts of the world depend upon what or whom they have had the opportunity to physically contact. Who Is Deaf-Blind, and what are the Causes of Deaf-Blindness?

   Extractions: COMBINED HEARING AND VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS IN THE PEROXISOMAL BIOGENESIS DISORDERS One of the major effects of infantile Refsum Disease (as well as the other peroxisomal biogenesis disorders) is the combination of significant audiory and visual impairments. These sensory losses vary in severity from child to child, and these diseases do not necessarily lead to total deafness and/or total blindness. In fact, it is entirely possible that the child will retain some useful vision and hearing. However, in combination, these impairments of the distal senses cause serious developmental delay in the child; affecting cogntive and social development, orientation and mobility, and the acquistion of communication and language. The disabling condition caused by combined hearing and visual losses is deafblindness (or deaf-blindness, equally correct). A deafblind child cannot be thought of as blind and also deaf, nor as deaf and also blind. She is deafblind. Deafblindness is a unique disability; it has its own concepts and terminology, its own methods of assessment and education, and its own modes of communication which distinguish it from blindness and deafness understood separately. It is not a medical concept, the ophthalmologist and the audiologist observe within their respective spheres, and the strictly medical literature never refers to deafblindness. It's a developmental concept, and without it the nature of the disability cannot be understood.

The federal definition of deafblindness with respect to children and youth, means "having auditory and visual impairments, the combination of which creates such severe communication and other developmental and learning needs that they cannot be appropriately educated in special education programs solely for children and youth with hearing impairments, visual impairments, or severe disabilities, without supplementary assistance to address their educational needs due to these dual, concurrent disabilities (34 CFR 300.5 (b) (2)." Children may be considered at risk for deafblindness when: it is not possible to test vision and hearing in the usual ways because of their other disabilities;

By coming to this particular page you must be interested in learning how we, the deafblind, communicate with each other, and to our family and friends and to the hearing seeing world which we all live in. I sincerely hope that with the information which is below you will, at the end of this page, become more aware about deafblindness, and perhaps you may have learned how to communicate to a deafblind person, or a deaf person when you meet them. A little info about me, My name is James Gallagher, and I live in the United Kingdom. I am totally blind and almost profoundly deaf. I have to wear two powerful hearing aids which are linked up to a piece of equipment called a "hearit". This equipment which is worn around my neck and is placed on my chest, amplifies the hearing aids which then in turn allows me to hear a little. If someone wishes to speak to me they have to speak directly into the "hearit". This method is cumbersome for them and me, but not everyone knows the deafblind manual and without my hearing aids I am totally deaf.
