Despite the consensus that communication is a critical aspect of programming for persons with dual sensory impairments (deaf-blindness), little is known about the communication these individuals use as adults in natural environments. The study reported here examined issues of communicative control for staff and eight individuals with deaf-blindness and mental retardation in three residential programs. Overall rates of communication, the degree to which residents initiated communication, and communication with other residents and visitors were examined. Implications for communication training and the design of programs are discussed.

Argues that community residences for small groups of people, and the provision of day activity programs designed to increase functional levels, is the only viable, humane alternative to institutionalization of severely multiply handicapped persons with visual problems. Living in a highly structured, home environment where individual needs are addressed by caring and qualified staff can and should be provided to those without self-preservation skills. Opportunities to participate in suitable prevocational activites are also necessary. The cost of such programs is the same as for insitutional care, and funding can be secured.
