Children who are deaf and blind have more trouble with learning in school and need more time to pick up new things. Due to their disability, they can only rely on their sense of touch and hearing, (with the use of a hearing aid), to learn. Resources to aid in learning for the deaf and blind are limited as well so these children need extra help to aid in their learning as they are at an disadvantage and learn at a slower pace.

We have chosen would be the children that are deaf-blind.

Since these children cannot see or hear, we can communicate with them with our sense of touch. For example, spelling out words by tracing alphabets on their palms. Placing objects on their hand can also help them interpret what you are trying to get across better.

# data[].attributes.body
They can work on their communcation skills such as tactile sign language, braille, or even their speech.

# data[].attributes.body

They can do simple physical activites such as going out for a walk. This can be done as a simple and regular physcial activity and also give them a breath of fresh air.

# data[].attributes.body
Another physical activity that would be suitable for the children would be swimming. They would be able to swim around freely or do aqua aerobics or similar activites.
However, safety should always be the top priority and the water should not be too deep and teachers have to make sure to keep an eye on the children at all times.

Inclusive activities can be played by both children who are deaf-blind, and also those without any disability. Inclusive activities such as tactile games which are played by feeling and guessing objects based on touch can be a good way for different kinds of children to bond and and learn more about each other. Those without visual and hearing impairment can help those who are blind and deaf. By participating in activities together, everyone feels included and they can all learn more on how to help one another and understand each other better.

Knowledge- They might not know the games and activities they can participate with their disability as they find difficulty in playing the common activities.
Strategy: Research on games that are suitable for the deaf-blind children.

# data[].attributes.body
Perceived professional competency- We are not trained to handle the children with these disability. When they misbehave or have difficulties, we might not know how to react. Strategy- we can go for a one day course at their school/center to gain the skills and knowledge to handle them with proper care.

Labelling and Language
Barrier:
- Children who do not have disabilities call those other chilren with disabilities labels that make them feel uncomfortable and upset. Children are not very well educated about other children with disability so they do know how to treat them or understand why they are different from the rest.
Strategies:
- Children should be educated on awareness of how to treat others with disability and what is their disability that makes them different from the rest and the appropriate words to use to address them. They will also learn to be more social towards children who are deaf and blind and learn to include them in physical activities.

# data[].attributes.body
Some associations such as the Singapore Association Of The Visually Handicapped and
The Singapore Association For The Deaf are places where those who are deaf and blind can get extra care and help to overcome their problems faced respectively. Counselling, therapy, financial aid and learning support are some examples of what these associations do to help these children.

For children with hearing aid devices, we should move them to quieter environments when communicating with them. This is to ensure they can hear us clearly

# data[].attributes.body
The children with disabilities will feel less included in activities that they participate with other children who do not have disability. This affects their affective development as they have lesser opportunity to communicate with other children of their same age and the others might percieve them as different from normal people and exclude them from the activities which will make the children with disabilities feel lonely and upset.

ACCESIBILITY
- Children with disabilities such as being visual and hearing impaired may struggle to move about in certain places. Stairs and places that do not have an even ground can limit their accessibility and getting around.

Strategies:
-More slops should be built on places where there are stairs or uneven grounds. Include tactile pavements as well. Schools can also built lifts for them to use instead of stairs. This is to ensure convenience and safety.

# data[].attributes.body
When talking to them we should also inform them where we are and what is going on around us.

# data[].attributes.body
We should notify them when they have to climb stairs or steps. We should also never leave them in the middle of a conversation. Instead, when we have to leave, we should say goodbye and bring them to a safe place.

Deaf-blindness refers to a person with both hearing and visual disabilities. This does not completely mean that they are unable to see or hear at all but it means that the person has some degree of loss in both vision and hearing. The amount of loss in either vision or hearing will vary from person to person.

Bullying can be very common amongst children expecially those with blindness and deafness. Bullying can cause emotional stress among the children and cause low-self esteem.
Bullied children are also usually more quiet and not as outgoing thus they may not have friends they can count on for support.

Since these children are not able to communicate and interact with anyone out of their homes, families of these deaf-blind children can spend more time bonding and interacting with them. They can be taught more social skills to help them build confidence to speak up during this point of time, enabling them to help them communicate with others out of their home.

In times of crisis like this, they are at home all the time. They do not have their peers around them to play with them. This can make them bored and stressed out especially because they are kids. A solution is that their parents should put aside time everyday at least 10 minutes to interact and engage with them.
