What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
A practitioner-focused guide covering communication strategies, social interaction protocols, and travel support for working with adults who are deafblind. Written for service providers, orientation and mobility specialists, rehabilitation teachers, and social workers who may have limited prior experience with combined vision and hearing loss. This is a print resource — not a device — so it won't directly help a deafblind individual use AT, but it can meaningfully shape how practitioners approach assessment, communication, and daily living support. It's made to order through APH, which means budget for a few weeks of lead time rather than immediate shipping.
