I missed class last night so maybe someone can just let me know what you guys did in class? After reading all of these posts about the Deaf-Blind retreat, I really wish I did not have to work so I could have gone. In our Linguistics class, we've been reading and learning about tactile ASL and I have found it to be fascinating. Here is a video of some people experiencing tactile ASL. The goggles simulate types of blindness in some Deaf-Blind individuals.

We learned about Visual Phonics and the 15 methods to help a Deaf child read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this video! I was reading the different posts as well, and I missed out on a great class :( I think that it is always a rare opportunity to get the perspective of someone with a different situation than yours, so the goggles is a great way to help experience what deaf-blind people go through.
