Measurable goals that are directly linked to educational needs are an essential factor in developing effective Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students. This professional development will provide guidance in developing meaningful goals that can be monitored regularly to determine if progress is being made or if revisions are needed to a student’s educational programming. We will also introduce the Goals Progress Monitoring Wizard that will be available in the OK EdPlan System in fall 2019. Register below

The Oklahoma Deaf-Blind Technical Assistance Project is a service targeting children and youth who have a loss in both vision and hearing. The child does not have to be completely deaf and completely blind to qualify – they must have a loss in vision and a loss in hearing. The project services are free. Below is detailed information about our services. If you are serving a child or if you are aware of a child with losses in vision and hearing, please refer them to the Oklahoma Deaf-Blind TA Project.
Why is it important to refer children to the Oklahoma Deaf-Blind TA Project:
- Early identification is crucial for later success.
- Children with losses in vision and in hearing have unique characteristics that require special strategies and techniques.
- This project is the only entity devoted to serving children with deaf-blindness.
- Maintain statewide census of children with deaf-blindness to improve services.
- See attached Letter from the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, US Department of Education
Here’s what the Oklahoma Deaf-Blind Project can offer you at no cost:
- Information individualized for the child
- 1:1 support from project staff and families
- State and National resources
- Visits to the child’s home or school
- Notifications of free professional development opportunities
How to refer:
- Share the project brochure with the family.
- Complete the referral form OR call the project to complete by phone.
- Have parents/family member sign the release of information.
- Mail or email the form to the project.
