DeafBlind Communication - Addedum

Adding one more form of communication:
4. Oral method. There are "DB" people who do learn to speak. Even Helen Keller learned how to speak and gave oral presentations all across the country.
I am oral too, spoken English was my first language. I've been oral since I got my hearing aids at 2 years old (and my father would say that I haven't shut up since). Doctors have told my parents "don't teach her sign language or she'll never learn to speak".

I want to thank 'Emily' for pointing this out in her post. Sometimes the obvious answer is right in front of your face and you miss it eh?
