MTTC School Counselor (051) Practice Test

Which condition combines hearing and vision impairment, severely affecting development?

Deafness Deaf-blindness Emotional disturbance Developmental delay

Correct Answer:

Deaf-blindness

Explanation:

When a person has both hearing and vision impairments, access to information and communication is drastically limited, which can profoundly affect development. This combination is called deaf-blindness, distinguishing it from deafness (hearing loss only), emotional disturbance (behavioral or mental health concerns), and developmental delay (a general lag in development not specifically tied to sensory loss).
