This chapter will examine movement among individuals with deafblindness. It should be noted that the causes and the severity of deafblindness are heterogenous in nature, making generalities quite challenging. Currently, there is a dearth of research on deafblindness, with most focused on individuals with CHARGE syndrome. This chapter will examine age of independent walking, balance assessments, fundamental motor skill performance, physical activity levels, as well as qualitative assessments on barriers to physical activity and parental perceptions of physical education. The need for additional research focusing on deafblindness and movement cannot be overstated, as there are many research gaps which should be examined. Ultimately, research should lead toward policy change to increase adequate and appropriate movement-related opportunities (e.g., physical education) for youth with deafblindness to better lead them to more activity and healthy lives.
