In order to communicate deafblind people will use any residual vision or hearing they have, to the maximum.
Their chosen method will partly be affected by the age of onset of the deafness and of the blindness.
The preferred method will therefore vary from individual to individual. What suits one person will not necessarily suit another.
Many deafblind people are proficient in more than one communication method. If you see a person using one method, do not automatically think that is the only way, or even the best.
