What Hapends If Deafblind People Don’t Get Support?
If Deafblind People Don’t Get Support it will become more difficult to:
Stay Fit and Active
People are described as congenitally deafblind if they are born with their vision and hearing impairment.
The term congenital deafblindness is also used when someone develops their sight and hearing impairments before they have been fully exposed to language; learning to communicate with speech, sign language or other formal communication methods.
This can often be as a result of a disease or injury.
Eat Well & Hydrate
There is one group of deaf people who live with the near certainty that their sight will fade. Those with Usher syndrome are born deaf and later, through an associated condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, also lose their sight.
Peripheral vision becomes restricted, night vision worsens and sudden changes from dark to light (and vice versa) take a much longer time to adjust to.
Stay in Touch With Others
Somebody born blind and then becomes deaf / deafend would initially be taught one of the tactile methods of communication such as brail or Moon (Rather than the dots of braille type, Moon type is made up of raised curves, angles, and lines.)
These people would have been given a lot of training in terms of communication and mobilty. For example how to recognise coins, use cashpoints, learning to shop, dressing themselves correctly.
Keep an Active Mind
In most cases, deafblindness develops later in life. This is known as acquired deafblindness.
A person with acquired deafblindness may be born without a hearing or sight problem and then later loses part or all of both senses. Alternatively, someone may be born with either a hearing or vision problem, and then later loses part or all of the other sense later on.
