Hello There, It's James here, I would like to welcome you to this page of A-Z to Deafblindness, And thank you for being interested in finding out more about us, A special welcome to fellow deafblind people, blind, and of course our deaf friends as well. 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.

   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.

    Extractions: No. It is common for people who are DeafBlind to have some residual hearing and/or vision. Definitions Deafblindness is a combination of vision loss and hearing loss that prevents access to communication, the environment, and people. A person who is DeafBlind may or may not have other physical or cognitive disabilities; each individual is different. For individuals of all ages, DeafBlindness is a unique experience separate from Deafness and from Blindness. You can read more information in What is DeafBlindness?

13. Sense Scotland - The Helen Keller International Award
    The Helen Keller award is a biannual award presented to the artist with the best submission, in any medium on the subject of deafblindness.  
    http://www.sensescotland.org.uk/helenkeller
    
    Extractions: Skip to content Search this site: Back to navigation Dr Helen Keller, the deafblind woman known worldwide for her inspirational life and work, visited Scotland in 1933 with her teacher Anne Sullivan to accept an honorary degree from the University of Glasgow. On this trip she established a trust fund to be applied in the interests of deafblind people. Sense Scotland became trustees of this fund in 1989, transforming it from an annual essay competition, into the Helen Keller Award, a multi-media art competition open to professional and non-professional artists. Now coordinated biannually, the Award attracts an ever-increasing number of entries from artists across the world. The competition brief has always been a broad one - all work submitted should challenge perceptions of deafblindness. This is interpreted in many different ways, eliciting a diverse array of artwork in a broad range of media. It also includes the submission of work by artists who are deafblind themselves. The competition is unique in that the identity of artists remains undisclosed until after judging is complete - work is judged solely on its artistic merit.

    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.
