The Oklahoma Deaf-Blind Technical Assistance Project is collaborating with the Oklahoma State Department of Education to offer a FREE Communication Matrix Training in Owasso on Friday, Nov. 8th. The Communication Matrix is a tool often used to help assess the communication needs of students who have multiple disabilities, including deaf-blindness.
By definition, students with deaf-blindness have deficits in both hearing and vision, but they often have additional needs due to physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and medical conditions. Due to these varied needs, students with deaf-blindness may benefit from a variety of AT, including personal listening systems, braille notetakers, adapted games, and more.
