Colorado Department of Education ESSU Homepage Parent Information Teacher Information Administrator Information ... Sitemap Deafblindness Deafblindness is a combination of vision and hearing loss. It is rare that an individual with deafblindness would be completely blind and completely deaf. Individuals who have a combined vision and hearing loss have unique communication, learning, and mobility challenges due to their dual sensory loss. Deafblindness is a unique and diverse condition due to the wide range of sensory capabilities, possible presence of additional disabilities, and the age of onset for the vision and hearing loss. A child with deafblindness would include the infant who has a diagnosis of Retinopathy of Prematurity (a retinal condition that is associated with premature birth) and has an acquired hearing loss due to meningitis at age two. Another person with deafblindness may have been born with a profound hearing loss and developed a later vision loss such as retinitis pigmentosa. Deafblindness occurs in three of 100,000 births. In Colorado, just over 110 children and youth (ages birth through 21 years) have bee identified as having both a vision and hearing loss. These individuals are eligible for free technical assistance through the Colorado Services for Children with Combined Vision and Hearing Loss Project, located at the Colorado Department of Education.

About deafblindness About deafblindness About deafblindness Deafblindness (or dual-sensory-impairment) is an unique disability which brings enormous challenges to the individual and those who support them. Deafblindness has many causes. It affects people of all ages in different ways, and no two deafblind people are the same. Many people will not be totally deaf and totally blind but will have some remaining use of one or both senses. Others will also have additional physical and/or learning disabilities as well. Causes of deafblindness Deafblindness has many causes and the challenge it brings are often more than just a combination of visual and hearing impairments. CHARGE This page gives information about CHARGE, its name and Sense's services for those affected. Rubella When Sense started in 1955, rubella in pregnancy was the main cause of congenital deafblindness. Thanks to vaccination, this is much less common and Sense wants to keep it that way. Usher syndrome People with Usher have a genetic condition which means they are born deaf or hard of hearing, then gradually start to lose their sight.

Back to regular version of this web site. HOME WHAT IS DEAFBLINDNESS? FAQ ... EMAIL What is Deafblindness? 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 California Deaf-Blind Services provides assistance to families and schools to address individual needs. Estimates indicate that there are approximately 40,000 people in the United States who are deaf-blind. A study by Teaching Research Division at Western Oregon State College has identified over 5,000 children and youth. It is estimated that this number could be as high as 11,000. It is generally believed that dual sensory impairment occurs in three of 100,000 births. There are many causes of deaf-blindness; Rubella, CHARGE Association, Usher's Syndrome, genetic disorders, accident and illness are some of the more common ones.

Home Information about Deafblindness Introduction Although the term "deafblind" may at first seem absolute, in reality people who are deafblind experience a broad range of perceptions. Someone may be completely blind but only partially deaf, or have some vision early in life, no hearing at all, and gradually lose that vision. Only a very few people described as "deafblind" are profoundly deaf and totally blind. It is difficult for sighted, hearing people to imagine the world of a person who is completely deafblind. Their experience is limited to that which they can touch, which is why developing options for communication and mobility become an all-consuming goal. If the person has some vision and/or hearing, their world expands somewhat, but adapting to the condition is still a monumental challenge. Communication and mobility are the two areas most affected by a loss of sight and hearing. A person who cannot hear or see is essentially alone unless someone is in actual physical contact, which adds to a feeling of isolation and loneliness. Many deafblind children, as many as 80%, have additional disabling conditions. These may include mental retardation, physical handicaps, social/emotional issues and communication delay.

[text only] deafblindness about us deafblindness services helping us ... accessing information Deafblindness What is deafblindness? Deafblind fingerspelling is used by some deafblind people for conversation. Deafblind people have a combined sight and hearing loss, which leads to difficulties in communicating, mobility, and accessing information. Deafblind people (also called dual sensory impaired people) fall into four groups: Those who are born deaf and blind, which can happen if the mother suffered Rubella (German Measles) during pregnancy. Those who were born blind and then lost their hearing. Those who become deafblind, most commonly as a result of old age, or through an illness or accident. How many people in the UK are deafblind? About 24,000 people in the UK are deafblind, but these figures do not take into account the large number of elderly people who are losing both their sight and hearing. So the number of people with a combined sight and hearing loss could well be as high as 250,000.
