Summary

Communication opportunities for individuals with dual sensory impairments and mainstream society are supported by technical aids. A number of research teams are developing technical aids to facilitate and directly mediate communication. However, the complexity of the technological solution means that many of these aids do not reach the practical world and people with dual sensory impairments are not able to use them. This review study offers insights into the development of technological solutions and their application in practice.

Keywords:

communication – technology – dual sensory impairment – deafblindness
