Wrap-Up
Takeaway
By the very definition of deaf-blindness, you understand that all students who are deaf-blind experience different levels of access to visual and auditory information. Beyond the senses of vision and hearing, some children who are deaf-blind are born with conditions that also affect their access to input from other senses. You have learned some basic information about all 7 senses and how the brain is a part of the sensory processing system. For students who are deaf-blind, an intervener or any team member should collaborate with other medical and educational professionals to understand more about the types of sensory information a student has access to as well as the environmental conditions that support the student's access to information.
