Liquid Soap Making Guide for People with Deafblindness

The Liquid Soap Making Guide for People with Deafblindness is a step-by-step manual that enables people with deafblindness to take part in soap production safely. It is designed for use by caregivers, parents, teachers, and interveners. The guide uses clear instructions and adapted communication methods, including tactile guidance, object cues, and repetition. It lists locally available chemicals with their common Kenyan names and explains their purpose in simple terms. Each stage of the process, from preparation to bottling, is broken down into small, manageable steps.

This activity builds fine motor skills, confidence, and independence. Learners can use the soap at home or sell it for income, making it a practical livelihood skill. Safety is prioritised through protective equipment, supervised handling, and clear labelling of chemicals. The guide also encourages sensory learning, teamwork, and decision-making, such as choosing colours or scents. It can be adapted for use in homes, schools, or community programmes, helping people with deafblindness connect to meaningful, productive work.
