Abstract

It is known to be very difficult for congenital deaf-blind children to acquire suitable communication methods and concepts of things and events, thus to construct human relationships. We conducted a survey to find clues to assist early deaf-blind children and here we report interesting findings. Activities that attract the children surveyed included plays in the water, such as water bathing, hot-bath taking and swimming, and plays in which one can feel wind blowing or acceleration, such as swings, trampolines, jet coasters and fans. Across age, sex, cause and impairment levels, popular activities among early deaf-blind children share the same quality, which stimulates relatively large area of skin, and some has additional sensation to vestibular organs.
