DeafBlind

DeafBlindness refers to a combined loss of hearing and vision, significantly impacting a person’s ability to communicate, access information, and navigate their environment. This dual sensory impairment can vary in severity, from partial to total loss, and often requires specialized support and technologies to foster independence and interaction. Individuals with DeafBlindness may use tactile and other alternative communication methods, such as sign language in touch, braille, or assistive devices, to connect with others and engage with their surroundings effectively.
