The purpose of the study was to develop an interventional educational plan for a deaf-blind student with screened difficulties in body schema awareness. This was part of a more extensive research in developing the screening inventory for the deaf-blind students' cognitive and communicative profile. The study used a qualitative research methodology and adopted an interpretative position. The aim of the inquiry was descriptive. We followed the case study methodology. The application of the interventional program aimed to help the deaf-blind student in promoting early concept development (body schema). The student was offered multisensory and concrete experiences in order to promote the body schema awareness. After the intervention, it was observed that the student became aware of having a body with a center (midline) and two sides. The student succeeded in naming her body parts and matching them to others.
