Summary
A new program guides communication partners to include individuals with congenital deafblindness (CDB) in group conversations. This intervention mapping approach ensures the program meets partner needs and is feasible for enhancing social and communication skills in people with CDB.
Area of Science:
- Communication Sciences
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Special Education
Background:
- Individuals with congenital deafblindness (CDB) face challenges participating in conversations due to dual sensory impairment.
- Overhearing conversations is crucial for social and communication skill development in people with CDB.
- Existing communication strategies often fail to naturally include people with CDB in group settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and describe an intervention program to guide communication partners in facilitating multiparty communication for people with CDB.
- To systematically apply the intervention mapping approach to program development.
- To ensure the program's feasibility and acceptability through stakeholder involvement.
Main Methods:
- The intervention mapping approach, a six-step process, was utilized for systematic program development.
- Stakeholder representatives participated in project and working groups to ensure practical application.
- The program was developed through iterative steps including needs assessment, program design, and production.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive program was created for communication partners, including education, practical sessions, and video feedback.
- Information sessions were developed for practitioners and managers to support program implementation.
- The program was implemented incrementally, with ongoing subjective and impact evaluations.
Conclusions:
- Intervention mapping successfully bridged theory and practice in developing a communication program for people with CDB.
- The program demonstrated feasibility and met the identified needs of communication partners.
- Suggestions are provided for expanding the program's reach and further research into its impact on social and communication skills.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

A communication barrier is any distortion or interruption during a conversation, resulting in miscommunication of the message. A good communicator should know these barriers and continuously check for the listener's understanding by obtaining feedback.
Communication barriers include the following:
Physiological barriers: They are limitations caused by a person's health condition or disability, such as hearing loss, poor eyesight, illness, or unconsciousness. An example to overcome this...

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
