Abstract	While some people feel that an infant who will never see or hear can bring only heartache, Orion's family knew differently. Deafblindness is not just about the absence of sight and sound. It is so much more than the sum of these two parts. What one learns from experiencing the collaboration between a teacher of the deaf and a teacher of the visually impaired is that deafblindness is a unique condition "out on its own," with separate challenges and intervention needs from either deafness or blindness alone. This article presents Orion's story, and the importance of early intervention and interveners. (ERIC).
