6 Indiana Definition of Deaf-Blindness Sec. 5. (a) Deaf-blind, which may be referred to as dual sensory impaired, means a disability that: (1) is a concomitant hearing and vision loss or reduction in functional hearing and vision capacity; (2) causes significant communication and adaptive behavior deficits; (3) adversely affects the student's educational performance; and (4) cannot be accommodated for by use of a program or service designed solely for students who are: (A) deaf or hard of hearing; or (B) blind or have low vision.
7 Indiana Definition of Deaf-Blindness (b) Students who are deaf-blind represent a heterogeneous group that includes the following: (1) Students who are both deaf and blind with: (A) measured acuities and intellectual and adaptive functioning; or (B) estimated acuities and intellectual and adaptive functioning supported by a description of pathology. (2) Students with hearing and visual reductions of a mild to severe degree: (A) with additional learning or language disabilities that adversely affect educational performance; or
8 Indiana Definition of Deaf-Blindness (B) who have been diagnosed with a chronic or degenerative pathology or a disease that may potentially result in deaf-blindness. (3) Students with generalized central nervous system dysfunction who: (A) exhibit: (i) auditory and visual impairments; or (ii) deficits in auditory-visual functioning; and (B) may demonstrate inconclusive or inconsistent responses: (i) during hearing and vision assessments; or (ii) to auditory and visual stimuli in the environment. (c) A student who is solely deaf-blind is not considered to be a student who has multiple disabilities as defined in section 9 of this rule.
9 Who is a child who is deaf-blind? Children with hearing and vision losses occurring together in any combination, or who are at risk for vision and hearing losses, that cause communication, behavioral and educational needs.
10 Vision and Hearing Impairment Categories Visually Impaired and Hearing Impaired with Vision being the primary disability Visually Impaired and Hearing Impaired with Hearing being the primary disability Deaf and Visually Impaired Blind and Hearing Impaired Deaf and Blind

12 Sensory Categories Near Distance - Taste -Vision - Smell - Touch - Hearing Near = must be part of direct experience to obtain information
13 General Effects and Implications of Deaf-Blindness Loss of incidental Information Difficulty in concept development Causes limited motivation Sense of Vulnerability Potential for Isolation Learned Helplessness
14 Hearing and Vision Factors Affecting Use Onset of Disability Type and Severity of Loss Stability of Condition Environment General Health Additional Disabilities Motivation Preference Fatigue
