Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) — Question 57

The majority of persons who are Deafblind

Answer options

• A. have a total loss of hearing with residual use of vision.
• B. have a total loss of vision with residual use of hearing.
• C. have total loss of both senses of vision and hearing.
• D. have some residual use of either or both senses of vision and hearing.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because many Deafblind individuals still retain some level of functional vision or hearing, allowing them to interact with the world. Options A, B, and C incorrectly suggest total loss of one or both senses, which does not represent the majority of Deafblind individuals.
