Access to information

Course participants should have developed an understanding that access to information is limited for individuals with deafblindness and know how to support them in gaining access to their surroundings.
  • A bodily-tactile modality approach is necessary to support any residual vision or hearing in accessing information
  • Use of exploratory and following hand positions
  • Environmental descriptions of general, physical, personal, and social spaces, where visual, auditory, and other sensory information is shared through different methods (haptic exploration, touch, pointing, drawing onto the body, movements)
  • Environmental descriptions allow individuals with deafblindness to perceive real-time information, supporting their actions and decision-making
  • Different strategies for acquiring information
  • ICT and other technology
