Abstract
Usher's syndrome is a genetic condition that is characterized by hearing loss and progressive blindness from retinitis pigmentosa. This article reports on a study of the impairments and demographic characteristics of 60 Louisiana students with Usher's syndrome that were analyzed to identify their interrelationships. The research found that although a substantial majority of the students had a manifested visual impairment and profound hearing loss, some of the students had less-than-profound hearing loss and no manifested visual impairment—a finding that corroborated the findings of previous studies. Moreover, the severity of these two impairments seems to be interrelated.
