1. The Layered Communication Model helps to describe, monitor and improve the wide variety of communicative behaviors of people with congenital deafblindness. (this dissertation)
2. With support and stimulation, it is possible for people with congenital deafblindness to communicate at the tertiary layer of intersubjective communication development. (this dissertation) 3. When one is interpreting utterances of people with congenital deaf blindness as requests only, one misses out on the opportunity to communicate at the tertiary layer of intersubjective communication development.(this dissertation)
4. A large vocabulary (in whichever modality) has low value when there is no way of sharing experiences with each other. (this dissertation)
5. One does not need words or signs to be able to communicate with someone. (this dissertation)
6. It is possible for two subjects to objectively analyze intersubjectivity.(this dissertation)
7. One cannot not communicate. (Watzlawick et al., 1967. Some tentative axioms of communication, p275)

9. The only thing worse than being blind is having sight and no vision. (Hellen Keller, 1880-1961, deaf and blind author and lecturer)
