Tactile interpreting is a way of communication for those who are blind and deaf or hard of hearing. One person, the tactile interpreter, puts a hand either on top of or below the other person's hand. They will then make tactile signs on the person's hand so that they can feel and understand what's being said. 1, record 2, English, - tactile%20interpreter
