[humanser] Deaf blind query.

[Teal Blooworth]

    The best way i know is to use sign language by making the sign on the 
palm of their hand and communicating that way. I will also lose my 
hearing/totally blind NLP and have found Braille is very useful but i am not 
sure how you could teach someone who is already deaf so try the sign 
language
