By Beth KoenigDirector Deaf-Blind ServicesOrange County Deaf Advocacy CenterSign tracking, which is an off shoot of
tactile signing, has the receiver gently holding the signer’s wrists to
follow general arm and hand movement. In this way, the receiver is able
to get the location, position, and movements of a particular sign. This
then allows the eyes to focus on the handshape formed for a sign, and
switch back and forth between handshapes and facial expressions when
“listening”. It also allows the person to receive signs in a more
relaxed manner as they always know where the signer’s wrist and hands
are located thus eliminating the need to exert one’s visual energy in
tracking or searching out such information.This technique also allows the receiver to send subtle cues when signing
goes out of their visual field. Cues can also be transmitted to the
signer such as slow down, repeat, agreement (“yes”, “yeah”), pause or
hold, or move to better lighting (visual field).
