Question: What is deafblind interpreting
Answer: Interpreting for deafblind people involves a more tactical form of interpreting that lets the deafblind person feel the interpreter's hands, and other means of communication. Deafblind interpreting information is scarce. Fortunately, DB-Link, the National Information Clearinghouse on Children Who Are DeafBlind, maintains a library of topics including interpreting for deafblind individuals.

There is also a Yahoo Group for deafblind interpreters, the DeafBlind_Terps list.
