[Nfb-seniors] Deaf blind query.

[Laura Beigh]

I have heard of some D/B folks putting their hands next to the speaker's mouth.  Also, does this person have enough vision that if he were to look very closely at the speaker, could he see the lip movement?

Hi a colleague of mine has a difficult dilemma.  He has a patient who 
has been deaf for thirty years with limited education.  He read lips to 
communicate.  A recent stroke has created visual loss.  He is now deaf 
and blind.  He does not know Braille.  I have been consulted finding 
ways to communicate with him.  He is 70 years old.  Thank you for any 
suggestions.
Each day is a precious gift.
