This glossary was created to provide guidance regarding the translation into Spanish of concepts and terms relevant in the field of deaf-blindness. It was compiled combining existing lists of translated terms from Perkins School for the Blind, the Helen Keller National Center, Project Salute, and ONCE in Spain. The combined list was then further reviewed and edited by professionals from four state deaf-blind projects, and Gloria Rodriguez-Gil worked as editor and translator for this final version. Please feel free to share this glossary with individuals or organizations involved in the production or translation of materials in deaf-blindness.
Thank You,
