DeafBlind folks are not counted on the US Census.
There is no specific DeafBlind category on the Census.
Because of this, we do not yet have an official data count on the DeafBlind community in America.
This is a perfect example of folks trying to erase the existence of disabled folks in real time.
DeafBlind folks and parents of DeafBlind folks are teaming up to change this. Check out this video [link] to learn more. And support the DeafBlind Data Act!
