Support: ‘Is there support for professionals who work with people with congenital deafblindness?’

The term deafblindness describes a condition that combines in varying degrees both hearing and visual impairment. This combination creates a unique condition. All people with deafblindness experience problems with communication, access to information and mobility. They require services which are different from those designed exclusively for either blind people or deaf people. However, their specific needs vary enormously according to age, onset and type of deafblindness.
