How do they inform deaf competitors what the word to be spelled is? (Don't tell me they discriminate against deaf people!!)

Deaf and blind kids are able to compete. There was a blind girl that competed at National's last year. I'm not sure of the procedure that they use for deaf kids, but I know that they have one in place.
