About Deaf-Blindness
Deaf-Blindness is a complex term. It is often mistakenly thought to apply only to those who do not see or hear anything. In fact, of those on the Deaf-Blind Child Count, ~ 80% have some vision and ~ 80% have some hearing (National Center on Deaf-Blindness, 2018).

The combined effect of hearing and vision loss can dramatically impact how someone accesses information and communication. It is critically important to ensure that children and young adults with Deaf-Blindness have access to their home, school, and community environments to give them the opportunity to learn and communicate.
