Discuss on how to communicate to the deaf blinded people.
Communication
Deaf blinded people always have a problem when it comes to communication. This is because they lack ways of seeing what they cannot observe. Statistics clearly show that seventy five percent of what people learn is through vision (Smith & Cote, 1982). Though this may sound dramatic and overestimated, it is true. This shows how great vision is in the field of learning. Imagine of life without vision or a life without hearing, some may call it doom but believe me; several people are leading a life without this two. The effects faced of deaf blinded people are not equivalent to a combination of the effects of the brail and the effects of deaf (Miles, 1995). A deaf blinded person cannot interpret the distance world thus she needs a distance interpreter to do this. These interpreters should not only interpret to them what they touch and feel but also the physical surrounding in which they are.
It has been discovered that the mothers’ deaf blinded people need to be taught to look for responsiveness of their children’s hands and not the faces (Fraiberg, 1997). This is strange since people are so conditioned to look into another person’s face for responsiveness in order to express themselves through their own faces. This communication should be done in front of the deaf with a soft voice.
In conclusion, deaf blinded people are part or us. They should be treated well with tender care and responsibility. It is also important to learn the sign language as part of life skills in order to communicate and interpret this people when we come across them. In general let this knowledge towards the deaf blind change the attitudes of people towards the deaf blinded and their challenges as well
