You could put your hands on the hands of a signer, and follow the
motions as he or she goes through the Lord's Prayer.

For deaf-blind persons, "tactile communication" is used.  It's more
successful with a deaf person who becomes blind, rather than with a
blind person who becomes deaf.  A number of deaf-blind students graduate
from Gallaudet University, using a tactile interpreter in class, plus
Braille if needed, or a Visualtek machine.  It usually takes the
deaf-blind student a longer time to complete college.
