Comorbid Deafblindness and Autism Spectrum Disorder--Characteristics, Differential Diagnosis, and Possible Interventions
Kristi M. Probst; Christina M. Borders
Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v4 n2 p95-117 2017
As the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) increases, so has the escalation of the diagnosis of ASD individuals with deafblindness (DB). This literature review examines the characteristics of individuals with DB and those with ASD, overlapping characteristics of the two disorders, intervention practices used in each field, evidence-based practices (EBPs) used in each field, possibilities for differential educational diagnosis of comorbid DB and ASD, and educational implications.
