Protactile is a method of tactile communication that allows an individual who is DeafBlind to have more reliable information about the visual elements of their environment (people smiling/nodding). Protactile allows people to establish tactile communication channels in different ways.
In addition to PT ASLIS will be discovering and sharing “Other Communication Systems” used by people who are DeafBlind. Other communication systems include anything that helps the DeafBlind individual engage in their environment and have a more robust communication experience. Since degrees of hearing and vision loss vary widely, communication systems also will be highly individualized. What works for one person may not work for anther.
