Services for Students with Dual Sensory Impairments (SSDSI). Final Report.
Trent, Connie
This report describes activities and accomplishments of the Dual Sensory Impairments Program in Florida, a 3-year federally supported program, housed at Florida State University, to provide technical assistance and other services to students, ages 0 to 21, with deaf-blindness. A change in priorities concerning infants (ages 0 to 2) is noted as the state took on the responsibility for direct services to this age group over the 3 years of the project. The new priority de-emphasized direct service responsibilities and emphasized technical assistance services for all ages (0 to 21). Specific project activities were developed to achieve the following goals: (1) identifying and reporting students (an overall increase of 149 students was reported); (2) increased technical assistance services (including student-specific on-site visits, inservices, workshops, presentations at conferences, other training activities, development of multidisciplinary assessment teams, initiation of a toll-free telephone line for parents, and dissemination of a variety of project-developed materials); and (3) coordination with other agencies and interested groups.
