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.
