Download or read book A Guide to Planning and Support for Individuals Who Are Deafblind written by John McInnes and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1999-12-15 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ground-breaking collection, leading experts in the field address the problems of parents, intervenors, and professionals who work with people who have been deafblind since birth or from a very early age. Individuals who are congenitally deafblind face the same challenges as those who become deafblind later in life, but they have not had the same opportunity to develop the communications skills and a conceptual base needed to construct an understanding of the world. The contributors address identification of deafblindness, planning and intervention, development, family support, and education. Just as McInnes and Treffry's "Deafblind Infants and Children" helped to change the approach to and the perception of deafblind children, this collection will assist in fostering a new approach to the education of and support for older children, youth and adults who are deafblind. An essential part of this process is to set forth standards for program development, implementation, and evaluation, which this volume aims to accomplish. It will make an essential contribution to the expanding field of services for the deafblind population of all ages, and to the improved understanding of parents, family members, and professionals who support them.

Download or read book Being Seen written by Elsa Sjunneson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deafblind writer and professor explores how the misrepresentation of disability in books, movies, and TV harms both the disabled community and everyone else. As a deafblind woman with partial vision in one eye and bilateral hearing aids, Elsa Sjunneson lives at the crossroads of blindness and sight, hearing and deafness—much to the confusion of the world around her. While she cannot see well enough to operate without a guide dog or cane, she can see enough to know when someone is reacting to the visible signs of her blindness and can hear when they’re whispering behind her back. And she certainly knows how wrong our one-size-fits-all definitions of disability can be. As a media studies professor, she’s also seen the full range of blind and deaf portrayals on film, and here she deconstructs their impact, following common tropes through horror, romance, and everything in between. Part memoir, part cultural criticism, part history of the deafblind experience, Being Seen explores how our cultural concept of disability is more myth than fact, and the damage it does to us all.

Book excerpt: A person who is considered deaf-blind is someone who is deaf or hard-of-hearing in combination with a visual impairment or blindness. The range of capabilities and support needs of individuals with deaf-blindness varies substantially from person to person because of differences in the extent of partial vision or hearing, if any, or the presence of additional conditions such as intellectual or physical disabilities. In all cases, however, deaf-blindness results in difficulties detecting, gathering, and prioritizing reliable auditory and visual information from communication partners and the surrounding environment. Information received without support can be incomplete, fragmented, or distorted and especially difficult to obtain from a distance. A lack of easy access to visual and auditory input typically results in severe information gaps--gaps in knowledge about what is happening here and now and gaps in conceptual knowledge. In addition, a person who is deaf-blind often has difficulty knowing where things are located, moving safely, and recognizing and interacting with people, places, and things. In the United States there has recently been increased awareness of the value of employing trained interveners to provide access to sensory information and communication for the purpose of fostering independence for individuals with deaf-blindness. Although this awareness is a positive development, to date it has benefited almost exclusively children and youth in school settings and has overlooked the importance of intervener services as an option for both children and adults in their homes and communities. The goals of this paper are to: (1) raise awareness of the need for intervener services in home and community settings; (2) describe how these services are different when provided in home and community settings; and (3) provide suggestions for increasing recognition and understanding of intervener services in home and community settings. Two appendices present: (1) Questions for Discussion by IEP Teams of Students Who Receive Intervener Services; and (2) Interveners Compared to Other Support Roles. [This report was prepared by the Home and Community Workgroup, a workgroup established to explore the use of intervener services in home and community settings.].
