Photo Stories: • Seattle's Deaf-Blind Community: Deaf-Blind-06T-David

When David Pyle is taken swimming each week, he floats- sometimes for the entire session. Born both deaf and legally blind, David, 32, never acquired any tactual ASL language skills. In the water he experiences what therapists call “body awareness”; a realization of his physical nature. David attended the Washington State School for the Blind, then entered the Seattle School District's deaf-blind program. He lives with a roomate in an apartment with 24-hour support services.
