How do the deaf, blind, and mute learn to interact?

I saw a special on Dr. Phil with a mother and father who had 4 children, including triplets who were deaf, blind and mute. The episode tugged right at my heartstrings. Seeing the struggle that these parents were going through with these three children, the toll on their relationship, and the pain of the seemingly perfectly normal older daughter who had no time or attention from her parents.

I can only assume that it is so hard to deal with one person who is deaf, blind and mute, let alone three?

If they don’t have it now, they will probably develop a very close and loving relationship between all of them. When a person is deaf and blind, the sense of touch is relied upon for language and expression. This family will probably develop a closeness that is hard to come by in “normal” families.

Probably the most well-known deaf and blind person was Helen Keller. Her autobiography is wonderful. You should check it out.

possibly the answer is extra less demanding than you think of. If there are 3 people on an island – the deaf guy, blind guy, and mute guy. there is no spouse on the island for the deaf guy to run away with. If she replaced into then there could be 4 people on the island.

Ever read the story of Helen Keller…..It`s titled “The miracle worker”. There are also several movies about her and her remarkable teacher, Anne Sullivan, if memory serves me correct.
