The article describes the results of research on the socio-psychological characteristics and behavior of deafblind children. The study was conducted on the basis of leisure centers for deafblind people of the Dagestan branch of the All-Russian Society of the Blind. Experimental methods were used: a test of Leontiev's meaningful orientations, Dodonov's test "Emotional orientation of the personality", the technique "Unfinished sentences", the method of one-stage sections of the structure of groups, the methodology of "Personality quality", the method of observation, correlation experiment. The study involved the participation of 17 deafblind children. Experimental data made it possible to describe sociopsychological characteristics as meaningful orientations (the goal of life, the process of life, effectiveness, the locus of control "I" and the locus of control "Life", the general indicator of meaningfulness of life), as the system of attitudes (attitude toward the father, unrealized opportunities, fears and concerns, attitudes toward friends, attitudes toward the past, attitudes toward the mother, toward your future, etc.), as the emotional orientation of the person with the predominance of certain emotions and the desired sociopsychological qualities. The results of the study indicate a connection between the socio-psychological characteristics of deaf-blind children and their behavior. Depending on this connection, three groups of deafblind children were identified.
