Deaf and Blind communication

I think that most auxlang designers assume that blind people can communicate
anyway and having a writing system is suitable for deaf people.

BTW, has anyone conlanged a sign language? How about a language with a
signing variant?

Yep - I don't think the way described would be the
best.  But it's interesting to note that Sudre & his
followers did apply their minds to ways of making their
language communicable to deaf and blind people. Very few,
if any, auxlang designers seem to have even considered
this,
