Get Communicating

The impact on a person’s ability to interact with both people and the environment is uniquely disabling. Anything we can do, therefore, to reduce that effect is vital and the key to this is communication. Deafblind people use a range methods to communicate, often using two at a time to access information e.g. lipreading whilst watching sign language or receiving Deafblind Manual to clarify names.
