Sight and hearing are the two most important senses for human mobility, orientation, communication and participation in society. Deaf-blindness is a dual disability that severely limits a person's independence and ability to master everyday tasks. But depending on whether people are born deaf-blind or whether they become disabled in this way during their lifetime, technical devices and the development of tactile perception -- for instance, by learning sign language -- increases their participation in the world of the sighted and hearing.

There is such a glaring historical gap between the quaint vintage 1920s footage and the hip compassionate modern stuff. I'm very happy for the deaf blind community getting such great care today, but it makes me sad that the Oberlinhaus victims of Nazi atrocities are ignored.

Quality of life is in the eyes of the beholder. For those who were not born deafblind but acquired it later in life, things are different because for some in that category, their enjoyment comes from seeing and or hearing. Some people adapt while others don't. For those who don't, a story like this or anything else found on line about deafblindness can be perceived as meaningless, imposing on them or insulting. Nothing wrong with this documentary. Simply pointing out another side to this.

Very interesting documentary. I was always very sad about disabled people, and still am, but this made me feel better to see how many things they can still do even with their disabilities. We should do more as a society for them.

Interesting question. I looked up Oberlin House on the internet and all that I could find was that some of the buildings were damaged by bombs. And Hertha Schulz, who they talk about as their first deafblind student, died after the war. So maybe they managed to be left alone by the Nazi eugenics program, unless they just don't want to talk about it on their website.

@wesleylawrence3818 9 жыл бұрын

Imagine being blind, or deaf, or even both. Would you like being called disabled, handicapped, or impaired. I am sure the "impaired" people see themselves to be normal. Everyone is different and unique in some way. Their "disability" is a part of them, it characterizes who they are. they aren't broken, they're normal.

The problem is that these new children are becoming intellectually disabled, unlike the blind-deaf children of the past and that's a huge warning sign, because it is an increasing problem and its not due to better diagnosis. This is a problem that needs to be resolved. If someone is blind and deaf and wishes to see or hear, though, despite having healthy and stable environments and love and contact with a supportive family and community, then that should be their right.

Well, she was playing the guitar right in front of the kid, so the kid could feel the vibrations as well as use her residual hearing/vision to sense what's going on.

often deaf and blind doesn't mean completely deaf or blind.. some can see shadows or depth of darkness as well as hearing some sound. nothing that we would think of as hearing or seeing but still something. the vibrations are also helpful in communication and understanding the world around them.
