People with Deafblindness
Many of the arrangements you make for someone with a hearing impairment or visual impairment will benefit a deafblind person. However, it is useful to bear the following in mind:
- A deafblind person may speak to you but may not hear your voice.
- Some deafblind people may hear speech when there is no background noise. If not, the person will rely on touch.
- Many deafblind people are supported by a communicator-guide, interpreter or enabler. Again, remember to talk to the deafblind person.
