Is it offensive when they ask others with you rather than asking you directly? I work as a tutor, and I've had one blind student and a couple of deaf students so far. The deaf student has an ASL translator, but I always talk directly to him and not to the translator. Otherwise it seems like bad manners. He watches me talk to him, but then he turns to her, so it seems like he's trying to show manners as well (edit: or maybe practicing reading lips!).
