In general, yes. But you need to be able to see to read sign language visually, and you need hands to be able to make the signs. It also takes determination and practice to understand the various signs of sign language.

Even blind people can learn to read sign language using "tactile sign language." A deaf-blind person can use his/her hands to sign, and then uses their hands to physically touch the hands of the other signer to understand what they're saying.
