Dual Sensory Impairment

Dual Sensory Impairment refers to the simultaneous loss of both hearing and vision in an individual. This combination can significantly affect communication, mobility, and access to information, making daily activities more challenging. The severity varies; some may experience partial vision or hearing loss, while others may be profoundly affected in both senses. Addressing dual sensory impairment often requires specialized support and strategies to improve quality of life, such as assistive devices, sign language, or tactile communication methods. Early intervention and tailored resources are crucial to help individuals remain as independent and engaged as possible.
