that it can be an inspirational platformfor the further development of signalsboth in Denmark and internationally.
The signals have been developed andchosen by deafblind people and peoplewith visual and hearing impairments incollaboration with their contact personsand a reference group consisting ofrepresentatives from different parts ofthe deafblind community in Denmark.
What are haptic signals?The word ‘haptic’ is Greek and meanstouch. Haptic signals are signals ‘drawn’on the body – typically on the upperpart of the back, shoulder or upper arm.
The signals can be performed simultane-ously with conversation and can thus beused to make a visual description ofwhat is going on in the room duringthe conversation or to illustrate forexample the shape of a sculpture.

Introduction
With haptic signals, deafblind peoplecan get information discreetly about thesurroundings or about other people’smood and facial expressions, while theconversation can continue undisturbed.
If a person smiles, if people laugh at ajoke, if your dinner partner raises hisglass to make a toast, if the meetingcommences or if a comment is said withirony. All these situations could lead tomisunderstandings. These are all situati-ons where visual interpretation is usefulto help the deafblind to respond rightaway and adequately.
Not a language in itselfHaptic communication is not a languagein itself, but is used as a supplement tospeech, sign language or other forms ofcommunication, when necessary.
Some of the signals have been develo-ped with inspiration from Danish signlanguage.

Introduction
Who can use haptic signals?Haptic signals are useful for deafblindpeople and people with visual and hear-ing impairment, but blind people andthe visually impaired can also benefitfrom haptic descriptions. Using signalscan provide a better overview of a roomor a building or even make it possibleto manage a meeting.
For persons with a narrow field of vision,the signal DIRECTION can be of greathelp to locate where in the room signlanguage is performed.

Introduction
6 reasons to use haptic signals
• when you would like to receive infor-mation discreetly and without distur-bing those around you
• when your hands are occupied bysign language, braille reading orinvestigating something
• when there is too much noiseto use your residual hearing
• when something is best describedby drawing the shape of it, e.g.a room and its furnishings
• when you need to relax your arms/hands /ears /eyes, but still need toreceive brief information
• when you need to orient yourselfin a certain direction

Introduction
Category-signalsEach signal belongs to a category.
Most categories have a specific category-signal, which can be used to introducea signal in order to tune in to a certaincontext.
For example in the beginning of a hapticdescription of a dish, it might be usefulto introduce with the category-signalFOOD.
If the description suddenly switches overto describe somebody’s reaction forexample CURIOUS, it might be useful tostart with the category-signal PERSON.
In the category ‘Care’ there is no cate-gory signal, since the situation is usuallygiven in advance (at the hospital, at thedoctor, at the dentist etc.).
Signals belonging to the category‘Other signals’ do not have a category-signal.

Introduction
You can also experiment with the sizeof the signals, the pressure and whereon the body a signal will be easy to per-form and receive.
In the book most of the signals are per-formed on the back, the shoulder or theupper arm, but they can also be perfor-med elsewhere on the body.
The importance of a signal can be en-hanced by using a larger movement, byrepeating the movement or by adjustingthe pressure. For example repeating thesignal for LAUGHING indicates thatpeople are still laughing. If a person isvery angry, the signal for ANGRY canbe performed with more pressure onthe back.
Be aware that it might be difficult toreceive signals through a thick sweater,and it can be difficult to perform signals,if a hood or a large collar is in the way.

Introduction
Description of roomsand surroundingsHaptic signals are very suitable for de-scribing a room and how it is furnished.
Begin by drawing a large square withboth index fingers on the recipient’sback to indicate the outline of theroom. Then draw the positions andshapes of tables, doors and other rele-vant objects in the room.
The outline of the room provides a basicframework to describe what takes placein the room afterwards.
Note that the room must be describedfrom the position of the deafblind per-son. If you change places, it might benecessary to make a new descriptionbased on the new position.

Introduction
Description of personsMany haptic signals are linked to peo-ple’s moods and reactions e.g. in a con-versation. Is the other person smiling?Does she seem angry or disappointed?Is she crying or laughing?
All this information is important to recei-ve in order to respond immediately tothe present mood of the conversation.
If appropriate, begin by using the cate-gory signal PERSON.
FeedbackTo show whether a signal has beenunderstood or not, the receiver cangive feedback by:
• nodding (I understand)
• shaking one’s head(I don’t understand)
• lifting the hand (to say stop)
• wiggle fingers in the airfinger tips pointing upwards(as the signal for WHAT)
