Deafblindness is the most difficult disability impacting the person with dual sensory impairment. The persons, who do not hear or see, have to rely on other senses; the sense of taste, smell and touch. Hence, their world becomes extremely small. The limitations in their everyday and safe movement influence their decreased interactions with nearer or wider environment, which pushes them to loneliness and powerlessness. We also often meet these people in our working environment and therefore, it is crucial, that we know how to approach them and how to communicate with them in a proper way.
