Assistive technology has converted learning into an approachable good for them. Based on the literature review, braille turned out the most effective assistive device that promotes deafblind (DB) children’s literacy. However, education without human contribution cannot operate properly. For that reason, teachers play a vital role in children’s learning development and can act as the mediators of the provided knowledge. The educational personnel has to bear in mind that every DB child has unique necessities. Consequently, it is imperative need to teach them the suitable combination of methods and techniques consolidated with their knowledge and experience. This research study will employ the methodology of qualitative research as well as the method of semi-structured interviews with teachers of DB students, in order to discover efficient strategies of teaching braille that could build children’s literacy in the school environment. Keywords: deafblindness, assistive technology, braille literacy, teaching strategies 1. Introduction Howe initially referred to deafblindness in 1648 when he described how a deaf and blind doctor (John Bulwar) taught to speak (Das and Mishra, n.d.). An example of a talented DB individual is the renowned Helen Keller, who raised awareness and encouraged many others with visual and hearing impairments (Parker, McGinnity and Bruce, 2011).

The blind and deaf people face many problems to communicate with the outer world. That is visually and hearing impaired people are not able to use message applications in the mobile phones. This system introduces a new communication channel for the deaf blind and visually impaired people which consist of dissimilar subsystem providing services to improve the communication skillfulness of the visually impaired people. The proposed system is to help the blind and deaf person to use these applications through tactile communication.

  • Braille Technology in Early Cognitive Development
    Congrès International DV 2009 Braille technology in early cognitive development The practice of Braille and the cognitive development of the blind or partially sighted child. Presenter: Patricia Fraser Harpo Sp. z o. o. ul. 27 Grudnia 7 61-737 Poznań Poland +48 61 853 1425 [email protected] Cognitive development When I was young – last century! - we were taught in a didactic fashion; the teacher delivered the knowledge, and the “good” student acted like a sponge, soaking everything up and returning it when given a good squeeze. We’ve moved on from there, and children are now a vital part of their own learning process. Why have we moved on? Because we all need to develop cognitively – because without the ability to think in the abstract, this world of ours won’t just pass us by – it will roll right over the top of us. In the time we have today, we can’t possibly cover all the ramifications of cognitive development and its meaning for education, but it’s worth noting that human beings don’t develop cognitively without teaching and interaction. Cognitive development is a social thing; as children interact with the people around them, development is happening, as a response to and as a result of that interaction. Let’s pause for a moment and think about expectations. We really do want children - including those children who just happen to have a visual impairment - to develop all their potentials, to bring all their talents and energies to flower, and to contribute to their community and the world..

A. (2017). Writing signed languages: What for? What form? American Annals of the Deaf, 161 (5), 509–527. WRITING SIGNED LANGUAGES : W HAT FOR ? WHAT FORM ? IGNED LANGUAGES around the world have tended to maintain an “oral,” unwritten status. Despite the advantages of possessing a written form of their language, signed language communities typically resist and reject attempts to create such written forms. The present article ad - dresses many of the arguments against written forms of signed lan - guages, and presents the potential advantages of writing signed languages. Following a history of the development of writing in spoken as well as signed language populations, the effects of orthographic types upon literacy and biliteracy are explored. Attempts at writing signed lan - guages have followed two primary paths: “alphabetic” and “icono - graphic.” It is argued that for greatest congruency and ease in developing biliteracy strategies in societies where an alphabetic script is used for the spoken language, signed language communities within Sthese societies are best served by adoption of an alphabetic script for DONALD A. G RUSHKIN writing their signed language.
