Визначення та Значення "tactile signing"

What is "tactile signing"?

Tactile signing is a form of communication used primarily by individuals who are both deaf and blind. This method involves using touch to convey information through a system of signs that are felt rather than seen. In tactile signing, a sign language user forms signs in the hands of the receiver, allowing them to feel the movements and shapes of the signs. This technique can include manual signs, gestures, and symbols that provide context and meaning. Tactile signing is essential for facilitating communication and social interaction for individuals who have dual sensory impairments, helping them to connect with their environment and the people around them.
