Language is so fundamentally human, as we are built to be social. It is so beautiful that it does not matter if you can hear or see, you have a voice. Thats so beautiful
This is just absolutely mind-boggling that they've created such an intricate way to communicate when two major senses are inaccessible to them. It's so cool to watch, But how do they learn what things like "I'm going to do ___" mean when they can't see or hear what they mean?
They can experience the activity through touch. Like I'm going shopping. I can use my hand to touch the apples, oranges, etc. Even though I can't see or hear. I can still use my touch to gather useful information about the world.
@@Godislovedayany5098 It's actually easier this way. Children absorb information faster and more easily than adults do. Just think about how you grew up and the language you speak, you probably don't remember learning it but you speak it, right? Same thing for Deaf-Blind, Blind, or Deaf people -when you grow up in that world of language it becomes second nature. The earlier the better and that's why it's so important to make sure that children everywhere have access to places that can teach them the language if the parents cannot.
@@mikethespike056 To explain from a teacher's perspective: when you learn a language, you get every chance to be immersed in the language. Because I am constantly interacting with deaf, blind, and HOH individuals, I get that as a part of my language. Humans are innately keen to communicator; just as you would show a child an apple and say the word, you bring the apple, have the person study the applet and give said fruit it's designated sign. Conventional language comes after you are fully immersed in the wonderful realm of communication. Also, there is no "cut off" for language learning. Get to work picking up that language that intimidated you.
@@olliekyles2159Not so fun fact: There is a cutoff age for your first language. I don't remember the exact age, but you have to learn a language as a child, or you'll never truly get it. There was this case of a girl who was abused and neglected by her father and never learned a language. Later on, she was rescued, and she learned a lot of words and their meanings, but in the same way we taught apes sign language. She didn't really get it. She never gasped complex communication. Luckily, children's brains are like sponges, so I doubt it would be much more difficult for deafblind kids to learn as long as they're being signed to from a very young age.
ngl I looked this up because I saw a video of a baby that's deafblind and I was curious to how they'd grow to communicate and learn in any way ...this is something so much more than I hoped for and is just humans being wonderful.
Mind you it's the morbid curiosity that got me, would they ever know their parents? Would they think in any language in particular? What does their inner monologue sound like to them. Would they ever even know their parent could have passed away if they were put in a home..concerning kind of thoughts but I would like to think they'd know :').
@@TheAxehI’m not super well-versed on the subject, especially in this specificity, but Robert Sapolsky has some incredible lectures where he discusses how infants are very sensitive to smell and pheromones during early years, which has neurological effects as well as an impact on parental bonding. Not to mention the neurological effects of skin on skin contact. Like I said, I don’t know a lot but I don’t see why things like that wouldn’t apply with deafblind infants as well. Humans are pretty incredible. Thanks for your comment, makes me want to research this more. 🙏
Haven't you ever heard of Helen Keller? Thanks to her and Laura Bridgman, we've already known for over 100 years that deafblind people can communicate and learn. I thought everybody learned about Helen Keller in school.
The crazy thing is that babies will pick this up quicker than regular sign and even quicker spoken language. When I have kids imma speak to them in all three forms of language
@@TheAxehremember "thinking" isn't the voice in your head, there are people with aphantasia who don't have the physical experience of imagination(best way I can explain it), as in they can't see or hear etc in their minds but they're still able to imagine and think. So even people who can hear and talk in their minds can think, like me, sometimes I just gave *thoughts* not spoken not seen nothing, just a thought. You can even practice this.
Came by this video because of my racing 2am thoughts and questions and I am absolutely NOT disappointed. These individuals amaze me. They are coming up with a whole new way to perceive the world and build relationships. They are going to make the world so much brighter and (I hope) a little bit easier for the future deafblind generations to follow them by further evolving this language. The human mind amazes me sometimes. ESPECIALLY theirs! Us humans are social beings with a thirst for knowledge and relationships and nothing will stop us from gaining this! These guys prove that ❤️
Great video! I'm legally blind. I'm not deaf or hard of hearing but I wanted to learn ASL and this is how I'm learning. It's so much better for me to do it this way then to try and guess the vissual sign.
If you have will to live, you can overcome EVERYTHING. Check people like Stephen Hawking. Literally condemned to become a wheelchar speaking robot... But he didnt become that. He became one of the greatest minds of our times.
It also shows how embedded in us the need for communication and connection with others is. People use their ingenuity to make those connections and to talk to each other when the main ways of communication they have are insufficient.
I've always had admiration for various adaptations humans make to work around disabilities. I know a little ASL & have worked with kids in our deaf school & loved it!
I honestly can't wrap my hesd around how deafblind people can relate their sign language to reality using only touch. For example deaf people can still have visual indicators of an object and the associated hand sign. Like a person can point at an object before making a hand sign to indicate one relates to the other. But using only touch, teaching someone that the object they just felt relates to the hand sign they felt immediately after must be incredibly difficult. Fascinating.
Look up Helen Keller and Laura Bridgman. In Helen's case, it actually did take her some time to realize that the shapes Anne Sullivan was spelling into her hand related to objects and concepts; but that might just be because she had gone several years almost completely deprived of language. And I don't know how she and Laura Bridgman were taught abstract concepts with just fingerspelling, but somehow they managed it. If you do enough research I'm sure you'll find an explanation somewhere.
This is amazing. I'm just today learning about Protactile. I wonder how communicating with Protactile influences one's interactions, experiences, and perspectives, with communication, relationships, and life. Touch is a necessity and you're literally connected to others when you communicate. It's beautiful.
I can't believe that PT didn't began until 2007. So happy it is growing, evolving, and being more utilized so our D-B peers can be part of experience! ❤
Im already fluent in ASL, might as well learn how it works for DeafBlind people. But tbh I saw the tree thing, and my first thought was "SIGNING WITH FOUR HANDS"
It's so fascinating to see it in action. I'm currently interested in ways of tactile signing for development for a couple of my characters. It's impressive how many ways there are to communicate.
I don't understand how they would understand what each sign or movement means. It's mind blowing. Like you can't point and say this sign means bottle or this sign means water
@@sharmainelc Helen Keller was not born deafblind. She was starting to learn how to speak when she got ill and lost her sight and hearing at 19 months old. Her first word was "water" (or "wa-wa" in baby talk). But when she got sick she stopped learning language. At age six and after intense sessions with Annie Sullivan, Helen was finally able to tap into one of her earliest memories and remember that the stuff flowing into her hand as she stood at the pump was "wa-wa". This was when the proverbial lightbulb went on and she remembered what language was. But this was not a moment of insight when she suddenly discovered language.
@@jacejohnson7113 Keep in mind that deafness and blindness are spectra. Not all deaf people are 100% deaf and not all blind people are 100% blind. Also, not all deaf and/or blind people were born deaf and/or blind, but rather became so later in life. That said, the human brain is wired to acquire language.

I really do feel bad for deaf blind people. I’m very happy there is a way to communicate with them, it just isn’t easy and a lot of people have to learn some of this stuff too to communicate with them.
There is a fascinating book about this, research about Marie Heurtin and her teacher ! You can also watch the movie Marie Heurtin. Basically you start with easy associations : make the person touch water and make her do the water sign with your hands. As you learn the first words it will help learning the more elaborate ones !
Rob M I work with people with intellectual disabilities and I love what I do. However it’s really hard to tell if they are truly happy and living fulfilling lives as many of them have a difficult time verbalizing or articulating their thoughts and feelings. Your comment made me feel good. I’m glad to see you are able to live your life they way you want with the help of adaptive equipment and technologies!
Helen Keller didn't just use fingerspelling. She learned to speak through the Tadoma Method, where a hand (or both) is placed on the face to feel the vibrations of speech.
if you're born deafblind HOW do you to communicate? like how do you register that shaking your hands will convey a meaning how do you learn language? so many things are just skipped over
All humans are born with a language acquisition device (LAD). We all have the innate capacity to develop language of any kind. As babies, our brains are sponges specifically sensitive to language as babies. Spoken language and ASL both use the same language centered areas of the brain, even though the receptive and expressive modalities are different (eyes and hands vs. ears and vocal tract). Pro-tactile sign is no different with touch and hands. They register language the same way we do, just with hands and touch.
I didn’t know that a deafblind person could think, like, how someone who doesn’t know that kind of language lives? since for the thoughts it's kind of necessary that voice in your head or images. I'm really sorry if I was offensive in any way, I'm just trying to understand more about it
how do they learn this if they are deaf and blind from birth? they have never seen a tree, never been able to experience it getting cut, someone pls explain
you too have the senses of touch, smell, taste, vestibular and proprioception, as well as imagination, no? sight and hearing are just two of seven senses
Maya Lopez Your right, I haven’t watched the video, I just assumed my opinion by just reading the title, besides pretty much anyone would have this exact conclusion and I don’t mean everybody, I mean most of the entire population
I'm lucky I can see and hear but I cannot for the life of me comprehend how it's possible to teach ANYTHING to someone who can't see or hear. It doesn't make any sense. Completely baffled???? If anyone ever reads this and understands the process,please explain it to me.
you too have the senses of touch, smell, taste, vestibular and proprioception, as well as imagination, no? sight and hearing are just two of seven senses
So... if the other person is sighted (like the dude in purple appears to be), couldn't/wouldn't Oscar just be able to sign without the addition of touch? And then conversely, when Oscar is the listener, the OTHER speaker would use pro-tactile ASL?
If the other person understands English and German, and Oscar can speak both but only understands German, would it make sense for Oscar to speak in English while the other guy speaks in German? It would work of course, but it seems a lot simpler to just converse in the common language. Conversation is a two-way endeavor. If Oscar was just using ASL, he would be kind of "speaking into the void" when he signed, not able to get feedback from his conversation partner. With pro-tactile, he can get a sense of how the person he is conversing with is reacting. Kind of like you can read someone's facial expressions while you're talking to them - part of why a video call or face-to-face conversation is richer than an audio-only phone call or a text message conversation. While it's possile to communicate in many ways, you try to pick the one that's best for a given person/conversation etc.
But how can they teach it ? Like even Brail how are they able to understand since they have no visual references or hearing references they can rely on to identify what they want to say. How are they able to recognise objects or their purposes ?
you too have the senses of touch, smell, taste, vestibular and proprioception, as well as imagination, no? sight and hearing are just two of seven senses
It is culturally accepted that you have to touch each other in order to communicate and it is different than would be romantic/sexual touch. And for people who commented about a woman you wouldn't touch their breasts but somewhere closer to the neck.
He probably has a computer with a braille display. They're not quite as popular with blind people who hear well, because software that reads the screen out loud is cheaper. But they do exist and some blind people use them and obviously they're the only practical option for deafblind people who want to use computers.
wait , which parts are the parts where oscar doin the "listening"? for lack of better term, that "cut down a tree" part is where oscar's doing the "talking" right? couldnt he just use regular sign language, sorry for my ignorance, i'm just really interested to know
He also tells stories to two person at once later in the video. I think that's how communicating should feel like. When you're blind and the one you're talking to walks away without telling you (this happens for real, I would have never thought), you keep talking to nobody. With this he know the other is "listening".

How do you learn any other language?
you too have the senses of touch, smell, taste, vestibular and proprioception, as well as imagination, no? sight and hearing are just two of seven senses
I've always wondered this
Hi there. The link to the video description and transcript is no longer working. Could you please update or share some more information? Thank you.

What a scary world they live in omg this sucks soo much
I want to learn it
so dope
That looks very uncomfortable... I imagine you'd have to do this with someone who is okay with having their arms and chest touched...
Absolutely. As someone who is learning tactile signing, you need to be comfortable with touch.
Both deaf and blind people are more used to being touched than hearing and sighted people.
I was thinking the same thing. Rubbing your hands over a woman's breast might be uncomfortable. LMBAO!
In their culture it is not uncomfortable. It would be rude not to do this if you are able to
It is culturally accepted that you have to touch each other in order to communicate and it is different than would be romantic/sexual touch. And for people who commented about a woman you wouldn't touch their breasts but somewhere closer to the neck.

How they learn it in the first place

that's pretty interesting!
How does he know about dial-up and broad brand?
RandomBrownLunchSack lol
RandomBrownLunchSack maybe he read about it in Braille
He probably has a computer with a braille display. They're not quite as popular with blind people who hear well, because software that reads the screen out loud is cheaper. But they do exist and some blind people use them and obviously they're the only practical option for deafblind people who want to use computers.
this is proof humans can find ways to solve almost everything
Very cool.
How do they even learn it omg
What if deaf, blind and having no limbs?
Then the guy speaking to the deaf will put his hand inside the deaf's mouth, and start doing those moves.
wait , which parts are the parts where oscar doin the "listening"? for lack of better term, that "cut down a tree" part is where oscar's doing the "talking" right? couldnt he just use regular sign language, sorry for my ignorance, i'm just really interested to know
He also tells stories to two person at once later in the video. I think that's how communicating should feel like. When you're blind and the one you're talking to walks away without telling you (this happens for real, I would have never thought), you keep talking to nobody. With this he know the other is "listening".
I am about to be totally superficial and point out that the professor is cute! 🙂👍
Than I have a lot to learn...

REPENT: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Keep and do the commandments of God which includes the seventh day Sabbath, feast days and new moons. Christ Jesus of Nazareth is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
The names of yahweh, yeshua, yahshua, yahusha, yehowah, yehoshua, yahawashi, adonai, allah, elohim, etc are devilish. False christianity, Roman catholicism, Sunday keeping, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Mormonism, Judaism, animism, agnosticism, atheism, etc will be destroyed when the true Christ Jesus of Nazareth returns.
I love Hellen keller that is how i learnd singh lagwig
