ARAOZ, Susana Maria Mana de  e  COSTA, Maria da Piedade Resende da. Aspectos biopsicossociais na surdocegueira. Rev. bras. educ. espec. [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.01, pp.21-34. ISSN 1413-6538.

The objective of the present article is to discuss bio-psycho-social aspects related to people with deaf blindness and their families so as to highlight those issues that have become important for the development of working methods in deaf blindness. It is based on bibliographic data found in research with parents of deaf blind children and other publications that deal with the causes of the condition. The main causes are congenital German measles, prematurity, infection, genetic or non genetic syndromes. The authors discuss the results of the various presentations, the expected educational development and the needs of the families in aspects related to health, education, leisure, safety and social inclusion. They also discusses issues of family adaptation to the impact produced by deaf blindness, taking into account organic, social-cultural, affect and inter-relational aspects, as well as productivity. The article reflects on the importance of divulging information and of common actions by all involved in the various aspects of the life of the deaf blind in order to achieve working methods in the field of deaf blindness.
