DeafBlindness is often misunderstood. It is not simply the combination of hearing loss and vision loss—it is a distinct experience that requires specialized communication strategies, adaptive skills, and strong support systems. Jeri shares her professional expertise and heartfelt perspective on what true access looks like for individuals living with combined vision and hearing loss. Together, Felishya, Debbie and Jeri discuss: • What DeafBlindness really means • Communication methods and adaptive strategies • Building independence With compassion and clarity, this conversation highlights the power of touch, trust, and human connection when sight and sound are limited. Whether you are a professional in the field, a family member seeking understanding, or someone navigating vision and hearing loss yourself, this episode offers insight, encouragement, and practical knowledge. Jeri’s leadership through Jeri’s House reflects a deep commitment to empowering individuals with vision loss to live confidently and independently. Her work reminds us that connection goes far beyond what we see or hear.
