What is an appropriate action when there is a deafblind client who requires you to stand in a specific spot to be seen clearly?

• A. Position yourself in the right spot to be visible
• B. Stand in place and avoid movement
• C. Face the client directly at all times
• D. Move around frequently to adjust visibility

Answer: (A)

Ensuring visibility through proper positioning is what this is teaching. A deafblind client often relies on clear sightlines or dependable cues from the person they’re communicating with, so standing in a spot that the client can see clearly is essential. When you stand in that specific place, your face, movements, and any hand signs (or tactile cues you provide) stay within the client’s optimal field of view, making it easier for them to access the information you’re conveying. It also gives the client a predictable reference point, which reduces confusion and supports smoother interaction. Staying in one correct spot keeps visibility consistent. If you stand still in the right place and don’t move around, the client knows where to look and doesn’t have to search for you. Conversely, moving around frequently can disrupt their ability to locate you and read cues, which can hinder understanding. While you’ll still want to face the client so your expressions and signals are visible, the most important action here is maintaining that position that ensures clear visibility.
