Grant for Services for Children and Youth with Deaf-Blindness Program in South Carolina. Final Report.
South Carolina State Dept. of Education, Columbia.
This final report describes activities and accomplishments of a federally supported 3-year project in South Carolina which provided: (1) special education and related services to children with deaf-blindness for whom the State Education Agency was not obligated to make available a free appropriate public education, and (2) technical assistance to special education and related services personnel and parents of children with deaf-blindness for whom the State Education Agency is obligated to make available a free appropriate public education. The program involved two components: direct service to infants and toddlers, and systems change to provide equitable quality programs and coordinated services in the least restrictive environment through a regional resource model. Individual sections of the report address the project's purpose, goals and objectives, conceptual framework, accomplishments/outcomes, problems and how they were resolved, and impact. Attachments contain proposals for subcontracts, a manual for replication of regional services, agendas and evaluation summaries of conferences and workshops, and a plan of action for the Materials Resource Center.
