Analytic Study of the Tadoma Method: Effects on Hand Position of Segmental Speech Perception.
Reed, Charlotte M.; And Others
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v32 n4 p921-29 Dec 1989
Small-set segmental identification experiments were conducted with three deaf-blind subjects who were highly experienced users of the Tadoma method. Systematic variations in the positioning of the hand on the speaker's face for Tadoma produced systematic effects on percent-correct scores, information transfer, and perception of individual features.
