New Jersey Technical Assistance Project (N.J. TAP): "Educational Resources and Support Services on Behalf of Children with Multiple Sensory Impairment." Final Report.
New Jersey State Dept. of Education, Trenton.
This final report describes activities and accomplishments of the New Jersey Technical Assistance Project, a project to improve educational resources and support services for students with multiple sensory impairment (deaf-blindness). Activities and accomplishments are presented in a tabular format for each project goal and objective. The project addressed seven major goals: (1) improved early identification of infants, children, and youth with multiple sensory impairment; (2) improved provision of an appropriate intervention system for all infants (0-2 years) and their families identified with or at risk for multiple sensory impairment; (3) expansion of opportunities for these children to be educated within their home schools and community environments and/or least segregated/restrictive environment; (4) coordination of educational programs, associated community services, and adult service systems toward providing a smooth transition from school to adulthood for youth with deaf-blindness; (5) provision of services to families to make them more active participants in the education and habilitation of their child; (6) improvement of the existing statewide service systems to better address the needs of this population; and (7) effective and efficient project management. A sample project brochure is attached. (DB)
