Deafblind
Definition
From:
NHS England: Accessible Information Standard v1.1 - Implementation guidance
The Policy guidance Care and Support for Deafblind Children and Adults (Department of Health, 2014) states that, “The generally accepted definition of Deafblindness is that persons are regarded as Deafblind “if their combined sight and hearing impairment causes difficulties with communication, access to information and mobility. This includes people with a progressive sight and hearing loss” (Think Dual Sensory, Department of Health, 1995)."
