I think Amanda attended the Florida school for the deaf and blind for a time.

  Hi,
  If you have the computer communication, the next step is to use it to teach each other your various forms of communication. Show something, then write what it means.
  It sounds like a great bonding experience to me...

    RJ Why doesn't she learn braille? as and intermediate step. Although I do think that as a deaf blind person myself that she should learn tactile ASL or at least the manual alphabet. I know that is frustrating communicating between the mother as an intermediary but if your relationship is going to last she will put the effort into learning some alternative communication.

      My name is RJ Sandefur. I'm totally blind, but I'm in a relationship with a visually empired deaf girl named Amanda. Amanda has some sight in other words, she's not a braille reader. Her mother does the signing for us, and this makes me feel really uncomfortible. Will Amanda have to learn tactile sign language in order to comunicate with me?
