Just a note on terminology - fully deafblind implies that there is only one way to be deafblind. Please remember it is a spectrum from Profoundly Deaf to some hearing loss combined with total lack of sight to low vision. The combined impairment, wherever on those two lines is deafblind. Some deafblind users will benefit from captions, others require the transcript which they access through a braille display.

It's, as ever, all about options.
