Experts agree that it is important to tell your child as early as possible when they have a disability. Children who are deafblind are often acutely aware that they are different from their peers and siblings, and it is important to give them language they can use to describe their experiences. By telling your child, you can help them understand the cause of their unique sensory experiences.
It is important to keep in mind that every child is unique and every family is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to this conversation. However, here are some tips to help you determine when to tell your child they are deafblind, as well as some strategies to make the conversation easier.
