Welcome, parents and families who have gained a DeafBlind child or adult!
There will be challenges and issues. Touch Seeds will lead you to solutions, strategies, and much-needed conversations. Please check out this blog post: Parents’ Reality (Click here). It is our hope that your experience shifts to a positive and productive direction with your DB child. They are our future.
Below are resources we collaborate with as we continue to connect in creating strategies for communication and language. This is where the authentic connection happens!
Protactile Kids!
For DeafBlind kids, from infancy until five years old: we have an exciting opportunity for your DB child and family to learn protactile with our PT Kids team! Please check out our PT Kids website – click here.
Additionally, we are updating our website with new modules for families and professionals who are lucky enough to have DB kids!
Services and Support
For DeafBlind kids of all ages, talk with us at Touch Seeds to find how we can support your DB kids and your family. The first appointment is always free!
We also are expanding excellent resources and collaborating with community partners. When you are in our hands, we will gently carry you through to the community and beyond. We can grow together through protactile and our PT community!
We also invite you to check out the Dark Side blog, as it will be updated with information and lived experiences by Touch Seeds’ Hayley Broadway, a Protactile expert, researcher, and mom! Dark Side is sweetly titled, with a hint of humor, because in protactile we leave our ears and eyes at the door before coming together into a rich protactile space!
DeafBlind Youth!
For DeafBlind youth – ages 14 – 22 years old: we have been working diligently at creating resources for this age group! Contact me directly or check back here soon for more information.
