Before taking this course, I knew very little about ProTactile and Backchanneling. As many DeafBlind individuals came and presented to us this term, I loved hearing all the stories and experiences of different DeafBlind people, but I was also fascinated by the individual standing behind them giving them feedback. I did not realize that you could give such detailed feedback that way to a Deafblind individual about their environment such as laughter and attentiveness of their audience. I enjoyed learning a new way to communicate with the DeafBlind community that not even many DeafBlind individuals know about yet. As I continue to build my ProTactile and Backchanneling skills, I hope to spread awareness and educate people both in the DeafBlind and the Hearing-sighted communities. I want to bridge the gap between the two worlds and form unity through effective communication.
