Early sensory training is crucial for deaf-blind infants, utilizing consistent reinforcement in social contexts. This approach enhances mobility and communication skills, fostering independence in children with dual sensory impairments.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Special Education
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Many individuals identified as deaf-blind possess residual sensory abilities.
  • Effective early intervention is often lacking for these individuals to utilize remaining sight and hearing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of early sensory training for infants with deaf-blindness.
  • To highlight the need for effective programming to improve mobility and communication skills.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing consistent reinforcement methods.
  • Implementing training within natural social contexts.

Main Results:

  • Early sensory training can significantly enhance the functional use of residual senses.
