abstract = {Gregory was born exactly on the same day that Helen Keller was born; the most famous, American deafblind, whose history and achievements are known to the whole world. No one knew then that he would be deafblind person, or that largely he will follow her footsteps. Being a deafblind person, he poses many serious challenges. The most difficult are many changes, that are inevitable in the life of every human being. Changes which always involve a risk, as they mean to go beyond the realm of the current stabilization and the need to abandon the comfort, which mean to go beyond the psychological space of the safety zone as Danuta Golec says (I. Rotberg, 2014). The changes, which are much harder for a person with simultaneous hearing and vision disability. Having family which implanted self-confidence, high motivation, desire for knowledge and the ability to take a risks, counting on its support and experiencing support from the environment as well as using more and more modern technologies, he faces further changes. Over time he stops terribly afraid of changes and sees in them the motor of human development. Also broader social context is not without significance in achieving a normalization of him and shaping his social activity.},
