Visual Frame Services

PN Inclusion's Visual Frame Services support Deafblind and multi-sensory impaired individuals by adapting British Sign Language (BSL) so it’s visible within a limited field of vision. Our expert interpreters use precise positioning to enhance clarity.

  • A qualified BSL interpreter adjusts their signing to fall within a visual frame
  • Signs are kept close to the body, just below or in front of the lips
  • Lighting and background are optimised to improve visibility

Why It Matters

  • Around 450,000 Deafblind people in the UK face communication barriers in everyday settings
  • Visual Frame adjustments help with lipreading and sight recognition in medical, educational, social, or workplace contexts
