    The hand is formed into a loose flat hand. If the assistant is standing behind the person being addressed, he or she places his or her hand on the back of the upper arm of the person being addressed. In a flowing horizontal movement, the assistant now pulls the hand forward over the upper arm and simultaneously changes sides. At the end of the movement, the assistant stands in front of the deafblind person. If the assistant is already standing in front of the person being addressed at the beginning, he/she places his/her flat hand on the front area of the upper arm. In a flowing horizontal movement, the assistant now pulls the hand back over the upper arm and simultaneously changes sides. At the end of the movement, the assistant stands behind the deafblind person.
