BSL users who begin to lose their vision are understandably reluctant to stop using their first language, to lose contact with the Deaf world and Deaf culture. Often they will begin to use hands-on-signing, when a deafblind person places his/her hands over the hands of the signer to enable them to follow the signing movements. This is often used by people with Type 1 Usher Syndrome .
