Organization and realization of scientific research on adults with multiple disabilities (on the example of deaf-blind people) abroad – possibilities and limitations

Abstract

Scientific research on adults with multiple disabilities (for example: deaf-blind) are highly complicated when it comes to their completion, and organizational aspects. Additionally, in many cases, they require the use of non-verbal methods of communication, adequate to the methods, that research study subjects use. The realization of scientific research on adults, with multiple disability, abroad is determined not only by mental, or financial aspects, but also the need to implement an additional participant – the translator, or so called translator-guide. In the text of the article possible limitations regarding organization and realization of the scientific research on adult deaf-blind people abroad are highlighted, as well as the unquestionable possibilities in the stricte scientific context, and the merits concerning the researcher.
