Using Sign Language and Touch Signals with Children and Teens who are DeafBlind
Slide 1: Using Sign Language and Touch Signals with Children and Teens who are DeafBlind Texas DeafBlind Symposium 2019Tara Brown-Ogilvie, COMS
Slide2: This is a Disclaimer!• Learning Simple Signs does not negate having a sign language
interpreter or other primary communication facilitation • The section on Touch Signals is more to create awareness than
to elicit expertise • Touch signals is not a replacement for sign language or other
communication modality • I will try my best to answer questions about specific students, but
understand it is best to make major educational or other decisions after an in-person assessment from a local deafblind consultant/specialist
