This source offers insight into a new language called Protactile which recently emerged in the DeafBlind community. Previously, DeafBlind people had to rely on interpreters to communicate with each other, but now they are able to do so directly through a language that is based on touch. The DeafBlind Interpreting Institute at Western Oregon University has developed a program to train Protactile interpreters. Through Protactile, people in the DeafBlind community can be even more independent than they previously were. This resource would be useful to learners of any level and instructors teaching DeafBlind learners.
