Deafblind

A condition involving combined hearing and vision loss that significantly affects communication, access to information, and mobility. Deafblindness is not simply the sum of deafness and blindness — it creates unique challenges that require distinct support strategies, including tactile sign language, braille, and haptic communication methods. The degree of hearing and vision loss varies widely among deafblind individuals, and many have some residual sight or hearing. Accessibility solutions for deafblind users often rely heavily on tactile feedback, vibrotactile signals, and braille displays as primary information channels.
