Deaf-blindness is often described as an information gathering disability. People who are deaf-blind are not able to easily obtain information using the distance senses of hearing and sight, and this impacts their ability to interact with others and learn about the world around them. For children who are deaf-blind, this has significant educational implications. They require unique instructional techniques and strategies in order to learn to communicate, develop concepts, gain mobility, and acquire independent living, academic, and vocational skills. Deaf-blind education is a unique specialization within the area of low incidence disabilities.
