How we can support:

Our team will partner with you to address questions you have about a specific child or young adult. We understand the unique access challenges for a student with a combined vision and hearing loss, and the impact on the development of communication, literacy and more.

A general question about next steps – ask about resources related to:

  • Accessing communication and literacy development

  • Accessing the general education curriculum, including deafblind interveners

  • Classroom visits to observe how the child is currently functioning and meet with the team, including family, to determine next steps

  • Selection of strength-based assessments

  • Discuss meaningful outcomes or goals for a child’s Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) or Individualized Education Plan (IEP)

  • Modify the environment to make it easier for the child to be included in family life and/or classroom curriculum and activities

  • Transition services: Start planning for life after high school

Our team of specialists, Sarah Godwin, Emma Packard, Nancy Hatfield, and Kathee Scoggin are available for consultation – simply enter your request for support below.

Many people think “Helen Keller” when they see the words “deafblind.” But most students who qualify for services with our Program may have partial vision and some hearing, only a few are deaf and blind.  We know that any degree of hearing loss (deafness) and vision impairment, when combined, create unique learning challenges for children.
