PDE – Steven D. Collins Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ belief that this dialect of ASL, that Deaf-Blind people use naturally, will provide a far superior means for interpreters and other sighted ASL signers to engage in conversations with Deaf-Blind individuals rather than asking Deaf-Blind people to decode English influenced “word-for-word” signing or fingerspelling of full English sentences as a means of tactile communication. This paper strongly recommends that interpreters who work with deaf-blind consumers must be aware of the linguistic forms described here. The process of interpreting should include the use of prolonged holds, tension in the hands and additional lexical items in order to match the language used by Deaf-Blind people. Additionally, professionals in the field, such as educators, need to include training in the Tactile ASL dialect and interpreter training programs should be enhanced to include this variation, as well. Finally, based on the findings shown here, further study of Tactile ASL communication should be conducted to gain insight into other linguistic adaptations used in Tactile ASL. Incorporating the techniques demonstrated in the findings will contribute greatly to breaking down the barriers to communication for Deaf-Blind persons. 73
