Deaf Blind Friends..

Adam: Every couple of weeks I chat with Peggy a deaf blind lady at Coventry Deaf Club. Recently, a second deaf-blind man turned up and I was fascinated as they communicated using hands on signing with each other. They each shared with me their appreciation for their visits to the deaf club because of the boredom they sometimes felt back at home. I tried to think of a fun activity we could do to pass the time but neither I, their support workers nor Peggy and Andrew could think of a fun activity they could share together easily. I'm starting to research possible ideas. Do you have any? It might be worth you testing them out with a friend beforehand, under the same conditions. I'll be interested to hear. Thanks.
