COMMUNICATION METHODS OF DEAFBLIND PEOPLE

We at IntroSign offer communication interpreting services to the deafblind community, we have lots of experience in supporting our most vulnerable clients. Always delivering a complete professional service in all areas and industries. 



Deafblind people have a few ways of communicating: 


  • Deafblind manual alphabet
  • Block alphabet
  • Hands-on signing
  • Visual frame signing


Deafblind services

Deafblind Manual Alphabet

Deafblind Manual Alphabet

Deafblind Manual Alphabet

This is also called fingerspelling. It involves spelling out words on someone’s hand in British Sign Language (BSL). 

Block Alphabet

Deafblind Manual Alphabet

Deafblind Manual Alphabet

This is when a hearing person uses the tip of their forefinger to spell out each word in English in block capitals on the receiver’s palm.

This method is most often used when communicating with members of the public and others who are unlikely to be familiar with the deafblind manual alphabet. 

Hands-on Signing

Visual frame signing

Visual frame signing

Some people who were born deaf and then experience sight loss as an adult continue to use sign language even when they can no longer follow visual signs. They touch the hands of the person who’s signing and follow their movements.

Visual frame signing

When a deafblind person has a limited field of vision, sign language can still be used if the signs are adapted according to their visual needs. In this instance, a BSL sign language interpreter could be booked.
