Tactile Sign Language

Tactile Sign Language is a form of communication used primarily by deafblind individuals, where signs are felt through touch rather than seen. Instead of visual gestures, the signer uses hand-over-hand contact or touch to convey language, allowing the deafblind person to perceive the signs physically. It’s an adaptation of traditional sign language that emphasizes tactile engagement, enabling effective interaction despite visual limitations. This method ensures access to language, fostering connections and understanding for those with concurrent hearing and vision impairments.
