Question

How do blind and deaf people (put together in one person) learn?

Answer 1

I guess like Helen Keller did her teacher taught her sign language and stuff ... wierd .. she did the letter motions in her hand so she could feel them... she put her hand under water and then spelled the words in her hands... they also have senses like if something moves in front of them they can sense it... try it sometime close your eyes and tell someone to come in when you least expect it or something

Answer 2

This is a very small answer to a BIG question.  Having received formal education to work with such individuals - often referred to as deafblind - it's not a simple task.  Folks who are blind/visually impaired have their hearing to rely on  in the same way that folks who are deaf/hearing impaired/hard of hearing rely on their vision, but when someone has both senses absent or impaired it's a bit tricky.  Many of the students with whom I have worked use the sense of touch as it provides a more consistent message when learning.  Repetition is also very important as is an active learning environment.

You could look at the site for the National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness - www.dblink.org.  This site offers short 3-5 page brochures on some of the things you may be interested in knowing..

Answer 3

they learn the same way we do, just with different materials.  Look how much Andrea

Bocelli and Stevie Wonder have accomplished, far more than people with sight.  Bocelli is an attorney in addition to an accomplished entertainer....Wonder is such an accomplished musician that he can play more instruments than most people with conventional vision.
