I work at the Florida school for the deaf and blind. AMAZING school and AWESOME KIDS! They WOW me EVERY DAY!!!

Is that device u are talking about called a “light talker”? I remember working at New England pediatric care in Massachusetts, and one of the boys there had one of these machines. He could tap on different “symbols/names etc. using a headswitch n it would then formulate full sentences for the intended person. It was wicked cool!

[@gemmanobles3869]

Sooo let’s say I want to start working towards becoming a teacher for the blind, what would I have to do exactly?

Can I get your email, I have meet a deaf blind am from Africa Ghana, don't know how to go about it

[@ajagoff]

You say the child can feel teaching materials so they know what lesson they're learning, but I still don't understand how they learn in the first place what the materials symbolize while being deaf and blind. How is this communicated in the first place in a way they can understand?

I ended up here searching for the answer myself

I would also love to know more.

Where are the Deaf teachers? Even DeadBlind teachers? The children should be taught in ASL as well.

[@vicentetomas3649]

or protactile! which is specifically for deafblind people.

[@dianesquires9987]

@@vicentetomas3649 Yes!

Special schools like this must be expensive. Parents probably move to specific areas so their kid can attend thses types of schools. It's not easy.
