27 June 2025 was the first international day of Deafblindness. Children with deafblindness are among the most marginalized within the disability community, facing profound barriers to education, participation, and social inclusion.
Across all countries, the data for the children affected shows, among other things, poorer health, contextual problems from birth, and severe exclusion from education. Across all age groups surveyed, only 14% are even part of their respective education systems – an enormous 86% are not.
