I know a woman who runs the DeafBlind program in Pennsylvania. training and monitoring support service personnel (SSP) for deafblind people across the state. Do you have a workers like that in Germany? They aren't just translators. They describe the settings, the expressions of reactions, interact more. They can help with mail and selecting things in stores, going to the doctor. It's a really empowering program. 6,000 people in PA are deafblind, but only 250 in the program so far. On a related note, what is something people do or say that irritates you relating to the deafblindness?

Excellent advice! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

Lol. My friend gets the same reactions to her very good looking husband and 3 children. Thanks for your reply.

Anything else you could tell me to help me be a better friend? To make her life easier or better?
