Join author and disability rights advocate Rebecca Alexander as she meets the founders and educators of Protactile, a language based solely on touch. Historically, DeafBlind people have been limited to using interpreters to communicate. With Protactile, one-on-one and group conversations are not only possible, but they also allow for deeper and more meaningful connection.

The human brain is amazing. It so hard to comprehend how someone who has never heard a word or seen any kind of symbol can still have the ability to comprehend and use a language just as descriptive and complex as any.
Great reflection ❤
Nearly cried the whole time. So lucky to be alive in a time where I get to see this coming together.
Wow, I learned asl 25 years ago, I have use it off and on. I also taught my boys. Now I'm a certified nursing assistant and just got a new patient that is deaf and blind. I want to learn this technique so I can communicate. This video was very helpful😊
Protactile real show that people always find a way to communicate. Its branded in our dna. Millions of year of evolution in a social species does this.
American Masters PBS & Rebecca Alexander 🙏🏾 Thank You! Protactile is profound, and could change how *ALL* people relate & communicate! It’s beautiful
I’m really glad that it’s growing and evolving. I watched a few videos about it years ago, but now it seems more fleshed out and distinct from ASL. So cool to see.
Heard an NPR interview on 12/30/23 using Protactile. Was so entranced by the description of Protactile and the interviewer discussing and sharing what was occurring during the interview using the Protactile method. I have tried to learn a little ASL to be able to communicate with the deaf, but this would be far beyond my 78 year old ability to learn. I am so happy that you have a way a communicating with each other. To me it is quite amazing and beautiful.
Protactile sounds like a beautiful language. Thank you for sharing this information with the world!
Sounds like a necessity as well.. what a nightmare to live a life of silence and blindness, especially if you were once sighted and hearing abled
Life changing POV. God bless and thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much for this informative video! I had no idea that Protactile exists. I knew in my heart that sign language is not enough.
Tears of joy . Tears often not seen or heard but felt .
Now I want to learn this and be involved. This is awesome. I absolutely believe a touch can say thousand words.
So interesting and so heartwarming to see ppl meet and have great time on their terms, asl tactile is so cool ❤️❤️❤️
It makes me wonder if this could be used to teach people who can't use words or but can see and hear to communicate.
My cousin has a daughter who is non verbal autistic, but is very quick to understand if there is touch involved.
Like gently moving hands away from objects that should not be touched. Showing that we are not mad, but just are asking her to not touch it. But right now she can't understand why. But that's because the words may not make any sense to her.
If I could learn this. This could save her from a institutionlized life.
There’s always hope as long as we have humanity!
God bless everyone and everything whatever you are! ❤
Hi, I'm a CODA. Both my parents were born Deaf. I grew up with many Deaf people and Deaf Blind people!!!🤟✌️
Excellent!

bro ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
So very interesting!
Bless your hearts and soul! I Love you all
Super informative I’m interested in this language
This is amazing!!
Wow!! This is amazing! 💖💖💖
Why do you have so many shots where all we can see is someone's head? That is the opposite of where all of the language is. You need to put the whole signing space and tactile space onscreen. If people were only communicating with their mouths, then okay sure headshot, but this is not that. And this entire documentary is about the communication itself. Put it onscreen!
HOW BEAUTIFUL🙌🏾❤️
My Farther in heaven please take care of these lovely souls and i thank God for the trainers of this touch language YOU ARE MY HEROES never had a hero in my life before ever and i can see and hear normally ... I Love you with all my heart and soul and with ALL the life in me ...i wish i could help it would give me more pleasure and satisfaction in life than if i was a billionaire !
That's not new when I was young I met Helen Keller we went on a class trip to the United Nations in New York City in the early 60s I was in junior high school there was a lady with her I think her name was ann Silverman she created that type of sign language I met the real Helen Keller wow in New York City they have the Helen Keller institute We're they teach the technique to deaf and blind people.
This is really interesting
Hopefully I’ll never become deaf and blind I’d definitely not be comfortable with someone touching me that much.
It's just a matter of time.
If you actually went deaf and blind you would get over that real quick.
Full vid in description.
Neat
Wow
