An Interview with Paul Hart on Children who are Congenitally Deafblind
Paul discusses the unique challenges faced by educators and parents as they engage with individuals who are born congenitally deafblind. How can a child who learns primarily through touch achieve language, the ability to communicate and a healthy self-identity if they do not have “tactile experts” who can teach them through a shared tactile experience? What can educators and parents do to become more expert in the use of the tactual sense as they attempt to educate and interact with these children?Interview with Bernadette van den Tillart and Gunnar Vege about Tactile Reciprocal Interactions & BETs
