Transcript

Finger Braille - an example of tactile communication with persons with deafblindness.
This video has no sound.
It shows two women seated at a table. One is wearing headphones and transmitting information to the other (who is deafblind) by rapidly touching her touching her hand/fingers.

This is an example of tactile communication with persons with deafblindness. In this clip we see Sonia Margarita Villacres Mejia from Ecuador with her interpreter. Sonia was one of the pioneers for services for persons with deafblindness in South America and a member of the Scientific Committee for the DbI XV Conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
