Disability is not Inability

::Adventitiously Deafblind.

These people are born with normal vision and hearing but lter loose some or all of these senses due to accident or illness or aging. They usually have their speech in tact, but receptive communication is a challenge.

Hearing aids and also eyeglasses, magnifiers and other visual aids may help but will usually need to be supported by finger or block spelling. The biggest challenge for the adventitiously deafblind person and the professionals is to reconstruct a self-image, which can carry the deafblind person through to a different life with new skills acquired for most daily activities.
