Hi peter
Thanks for sharing with us about this. I heard about it and wanted to know
what it was about. Something that around the world for deafblind people and
supportors start to find ways to communicate in any places, they can be in
any social inclusion.
I remember when I played pokies for 10 mins. I asked a friend to do haptic
on my back what the screen say eg credit numbers etc. I thought It was
great idea but need to practise lieke that. However I am not a gambling
person.
Good on Brazil team
cheers Heather

After the written description there is a link to Limping Chicken, a
British
blog site that shows a 10 minutes video how a Brazilian Deafblind
youngster
could enjoy world cup games using two interpreters and a tactile football
field. One interpreter signs on the deafblind's back who has the
possession
of the ball and how the spectators cried, when the referee blows his
whistle
and sign the different types of fouls. The other interpreter has the hands
of the deafblind on his hands and leads the movements of the players and
the
ball on the tactile football field. He would spell to him the names or
numbers of the players. He also signs the Brazilian National Anthem. The
game being watched is between Brazil and Croatia. At the end, the
Deafblind
youngster signs in LiBras, the name of the Brazilian Sign language, his
great happiness about being able to take part in the fever of the Soccer
World Cup. You will recognize a few signs that is the same or similar to
ASL. LiBras has a similar history of ASL. A French Deaf man named Huey
went
to Brazil at the same time as Laurent Clerc went to USA and brought the
Old
LSF there.
