How are people taught if they are born blind and deaf?

I can understand trying to teach someone via visuals or by talking to them but I can't figure out how you would teach someone multiplication or about government services or scammers without either.

Teach them tactile signs and go from there.

Watch The Miracle Worker for a notable famous example.

Helen Keller naturally came to my mind as well. She was not born blind and deaf though. She lost those sense at 19 months, so about a year and a half in. That is still quite young, but enough to establish the basis for things like object permanence and 3 dimensional space. In the climatic scene of The Miracle Worker, the main character says a word she learned as a baby, underscoring the importance of her early months.

To truly be born deaf and blind I think would be another degree more challenging.
