What is Deafblindness? The federal definition of deafblindness states: "children and youth 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) The majority of individuals who are deafblind have some residual use of hearing and vision. Some may have no usable hearing or vision and some may have additional challenges such as cognitive or physical disabilities. A combination of hearing and vision losses may cause deficits in communication, orientation and mobility, social skills, and developmental delays. Individuals who are deafblind have the same basic needs as all children, but they also have complex and unique challenges and must be taught what other children learn incidentally through observing, naturally interacting with others, and overhearing. Educational needs may require modified curricula and specialized instructional techniques beyond that of hearing impairment, visual impairment, or multiple disabilities. There are four critical factors that affect the severity of deafblindness:

Return to: Georgia Sensory Assistance Project Deafblindness Defined When we hear the term deafblind, we often imagine a person who is unable to hear or see anything. This is typically not the case. A range of vision and hearing loss can occur in combination. Functional levels may vary from hard-of-hearing and partially sighted to profoundly deaf and totally blind. This may allow some individuals with deafblindness to have enough vision to move about their environments, see sign language at close distances, recognize loud familiar sounds, and recognize familiar objects. A combined vision and hearing loss can cause developmental delays and deficits in areas such as communication, concept development, social skills, and mobility, but they do not always limit the individual’s learning potential. The combined auditory and visual impairment causes unique educational needs requiring specialized instructional techniques and modified curricula beyond those generally provided in the field of visual impairments, hearing impairments or multiple disabilities. Technical assistance is provided by the Georgia Sensory Assistance Project to parents, teachers and related services staff to address the child’s unique needs.

ETIOLOGIES OF DEAFBLINDNESS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR COMMUNICATION by Kirralee Lewis , The Deaf-Blind Association (from a paper presented at the 1998 Renwick College Winter School on Deafblindness) Understanding etiologies can provide vital information to families and services providers that: ·assists in explaining characteristics and behaviours; ·indicates whether the condition is degenerative or stable; ·indicates medical needs; ·guides decisions for educational instruction, adaptation, orientation and mobility, and communication methods. Diagnosis Diagnosis may be difficult for a number of reasons: ·Genetic evaluations and studies of environmental factors do not always display clear results; ·Many hearing and vision evaluations may be inconclusive; ·Individuals with deafblindness may have additional disabilities; ·Definite diagnosis may be insufficient due to medical knowledge and technology. A diagnosis acts as a guideline for information. It should not be used as a limiting factor of all the things a person can and cannot do. It does not totally predict an individuals academic, vocational or independent living success.
