Few individuals labeled deaf-blind are, in fact, totally deaf and totally blind. Many of these individuals have residual sight and hearing, but may not receive adequate early training in using these senses effectively. Effective early sensory training with infants entails the use of consistent reinforcement methods in natural social contexts. Preservice and inservice teachers must become knowledgeable in high-quality programming components in which the goal is to increase the abilities of students with dual sensory impairments--in both mobility and communication--and to help them become independent, responsible adults.
事实上，很少有被标记为聋盲的人是完全失聪和完全失明的。这些人中许多人有残余视力和听力，但可能没有得到足够的早期训练来有效运用这些感官。对婴儿进行有效的早期感官训练需要在自然的社交环境中使用一致的强化方法。职前和在职教师必须了解高质量的课程内容，其目标是提高双重感官障碍学生在行动能力和沟通能力方面的水平，并帮助他们成为独立、有责任感的成年人。
