Deafblind Sample Clauses

Deafblind. Depending on the degree of sight and hearing impairment, a deafblind person may use speech, lipreading, writing, fingerspelling or sign language or a combination of these and other methods. A deafblind person may therefore use a Deafblind Manual Interpreter, a BSL/English Interpreter or any of the other LSPs mentioned above • A deafblind manual interpreter communicates what is said to a deafblind person by a third person, along with other relevant information, by forming letters on the deafblind person’s hand.

Additional notes on using an LSP • As LSPs communicate with D/deaf people by visual methods, it is necessary to record their information by a visual medium if it is to be used later. This can be done by DVD or video. • People with a mild degree of hearing loss may require a loop system in court to use with their hearing aid. Or they may require a neck loop with the person speaking wearing a microphone linked to the neck loop. However it should be noted that these systems are only of benefit to people with a reasonable degree of residual hearing.
