    Extractions: Back to previous page Publications Sense homepage Factsheet one WHAT IS DEAFBLINDNESS? Deafblindness is a unique disability. It is sometimes known as dual sensory impairment or multi-sensory impairment and is more than a combination of visual and hearing impairments. It is important to stress that many deafblind people may not be totally deaf and totally blind. Many of the UK's 23,000 deafblind people have some remaining hearing and vision. Some, though, have nearly complete loss of both senses. Someone is called deafblind when neither their sight nor hearing can compensate for the impairment of the other sense - in other words, they cannot function as a deaf person or a blind person. 95% of what we learn about ourselves and the world comes through sight and hearing. And because deafblind people lack these two 'distance senses', they find that their mobility, communication and access to information are greatly affected. Congenital and acquired deafblindness A person can be born deafblind (called congenital deafblindness) or acquire deafblindness later in life , and the needs and problems of these two groups are very different. It is important to emphasise however deafblind people are

    Extractions: Deafblindness has many causes and the challenge it brings are often more than just a combination of visual and hearing impairments. When someone is born with combined sight and hearing difficulties this is called congenital deafblindness. Examples of this includes conditions such as Rubella or CHARGE If they develop these problems later in life, this is called acquired deafblindness. This may be due to a genetic condition such as Usher syndrome or as a result of aging in later life Read Factsheet 15: The Changing Deafblind Population For more information Get Adobe Acrobat here Registered Charity No: 289868

    Extractions: The term deafblindness describes a conditon that combines in varying degrees both hearing and visual impairment. Two sensory impairments multiply and intensify the impact of each other creating a severe disability which is different and unique. All deafblind people experience problems with communication, access to information and mobility. However, their specific needs vary enormously according to age, onset and type of deafblindness. Deafblind people are unable to use one sense to fully compensate for the impairment of the other. Thus they will require services which are different from those designed exclusively for either blind people or deaf people. DbI Homepage Site Map What's New? What is DbI? ... President's Letter

    Extractions: According to the Nordic definition "a person is deafblind when he/she has a severe degree of combined visual and auditory impairment". Some deafblind people are totally deaf and blind, while the majority retain some sight and/or hearing. A distinction is made between congenital and acquired deafblindness. People with acquired deafblindness have lost their sight and hearing in the course of their childhood, adolescence or adulthood i.e. after having developed an auditive and/or visual frame of reference and acquiring a language, whether oral or sign language. The combination of the two disabilities makes it difficult for people who are deafblind to utilize any residual sight or hearing which they may retain. A person who is, for example, "only" hard of hearing can to some extent compensate by lip-reading, while for those with acquired deafblindness, this possibility is severely curtailed. Deafblindness is thus a specific and unique disability, requiring specialized medical aids and assistance. This is particularly true as regards the need of the deafblind person to communicate, gain access to information and news, and to be able to move around independently in their environment.

The Project is mandated to provide technical assistance, consultation, and staff development opportunities to pare nts, professionals, and other state and local agencies. Currently, there are approximately 76 individuals with deafblindness who are registered with the state deafblind registry. Parents, professionals, and other caregivers are welcome to call to request assistance and/or additional information regarding services for children. However, in order to receive consultative services or technical assistance, the child must be registered with the state deaf-blind registry. More information about the registry.

Deafblindness is a combination of hearing and vision loss which affects an individual in their overall development and interaction with their environment. You may also have heard deafblindness referred to as "dual sensory impairments." The educational field began providing specialized services to individuals with deafblindness after the Rubella (German Measles) epidemic in the mid to late 1960s. These "Rubella babies," as they were called, were unique individuals, with a variety of special needs. The professional field has continued to grow and expand its knowledge of the many types of needs which children and adults with deafblindness display. Some syndromes which may indicate both hearing and visual impairment include: Batten Disease CHARGE Association Down syndrome Goldenhar syndrome Hunter syndrome Hurler syndrome Leber's congenital amaurosis Marfan syndrome Prader-Willi Refsum syndrome Stickler syndrome Teacher Collins syndrome Turner syndrome Usher I, II, III

    Extractions: The goal of this series of courses is to provide parents, service providers, and others with an introduction to the essential information for maximizing the potential of people who are deafblind. Participants should have some contact or knowledge of people who are deafblind before enrolling for the courses. Students are exposed to an overview of the heterogeneity of the population of individuals who are deafblind and the potential implications for intervention based on etiology. Age of onset of visual and hearing impairments, and other disabilities combined with vision/hearing impairments; an introduction to communication and mobility; and classroom strategies will be addressed in this series. While taking part in the courses, class members will be asked to subscribe to the philosophy that all people can learn and communicate in some form. Winter term classes begin February 7 and end April 14, 2000. Lyn Ayer, Ph.D.

    http://www.azdb.net/whatsdb1.htm
    
    Extractions: The term deafblind refers to a combined vision and hearing loss. It is also known as dual sensory impairment. Very few children identified as deafblind are totally deaf and totally blind, although some are. Most of the children who qualify as deafblind have some useful vision and/or hearing, which is very important to their daily functioning. There is a wide range of cognitive and developmental ability among deafblind children, from gifted to profound multiple impairments. As many as 80% of the children identified as deafblind are reported to have additional disabling conditions. These include mental retardation, physical handicaps, social/emotional issues, and communication delays. Because deafblindness is a combination of vision and hearing losses, there are as many possible combinations as there are individuals. For this reason, no two children with deafblindness are alike. Communication and mobility are often the most affected areas of life for a person with deaf-blindness causing feelings of isolation and loneliness. Development of compensatory skills can help bridge this gap. Trainings and instructional strategies are available to parents and educators relative to communication and mobility. Upon request Arizona Deafblind Project provides assistance to families and schools to address individual needs.

Congenital deafblindness is when someone is born with combined vision and hearing impairment. If a person develops vision and hearing loss later in life this is called acquired deafblindness.
