The 'new' deaf-blind?

Results of a national survey of deaf-blind children in ESN(S) and hospital schools

National Association for Deaf-Blind and Rubella Handicapped

A national survey of children described as deaf-blind was carried out in 1982/3 to ascertain numbers, cause of handicaps, communication and services. The results give details of 288 children, some of whom were handicapped by Rubella, although the majority suffered from multiple sensory defects caused by other conditions. It is concluded that there is a clear need for further staff training, an increased input from services for the visually handicapped and development of suitable assessment tools.
