 With system , the deaf blind person follows the
sign by placing his hands over those of the
signer and feeling the sign formed .
 People with Usher syndrome may use this form
of communication as their sight reduces.
 Hands-on Signing - this is used by British Sign
Language users whose vision no longer allows
them to see sign language and they therefore
'feel' sign language by resting their hands on the
communicator's.
HANDS OF SIGNING
BLOCK
ALPHABET
• Block is a manual form of
communication where words are spelled
out on to a palm of the deaf blind person’s
hand .
• This is a simple system used by some
deafblind people.
• With your forefinger draw the clear shape
of capital letters on the palm of the
deafblind person's hand.
 Use the whole palm for each letter - keeping
them large and clear. Place one letter over the
top of the last - do not attempt to write across
the palm as you would on a sheet of paper and
keep your pen in your pocket! Pause slightly at
the end of each word making sure the person is
able to follow what you are saying.
 Letters should generally be drawn from left to
right and from top to bottom. Letters M N and W
should be drawn keeping the finger on the palm
and not in separate strokes.
VISUAL FRAME SIGNING
• For the people with limited vision British
Sign Language can stilled be used . In
case signing will be done within the
person’s remaining field of vision.
• Visual Frame Signing - a way of modifying
and using sign language in a restricted
space to suit the visual needs of the
individual receiving it.
TADOMA
 Tadoma is tactile lip reading (or tactile
speechreading).
 The Tadoma user, feels the vibrations of the
throat and face and jaw positions of the speaker
as he/she speaks.
 Unfortunately, this requires years of training and
practice, and can be slow. Although highly-skilled
Tadoma users can comprehend speech at near
listening rates, most Tadoma users are much
slower and the added restriction of the user
having to be in contact with the speaker adds to
the problems associated with the Tadoma
method.
 It is not very popular because it is hard to
do and not very accurate.
SIGN LANGUAGE
 Sign Language, Some deaf blind people were
deaf from birth and became blind as teen-agers
or adults.
 They prefer the sign language used by deaf
people.
 Instead of watching the hands and arms of
friends, they touch the hands of the person
making the signs to learn what is being said.
 It is usually necessary to restrict the movements
involved in making signs so that a deafblind
person can follow along conveniently. This
system can lead to confusion.
 It requires the speaker to have extensive
training in sign language. However, it is
possible to interpret as quickly as English
is spoken using this method.
