Blind-VI and Deaf-HH Services
Children are considered to be deafblind when the combination of their hearing and vision loss cause severe communication and developmental delays resulting in educational needs that require significant and unique adaptations to tie educational programs.
According to 2019 child count data collected by the National Center on Deaf-Blindness, children who are deafblind are as varied as the number reported, and the nature and extent of deaf-blindness in children is often misunderstood (Malloy & Killoran, 2007; McCormick, 2015; Schalock, 2018).
