This case study describes the educational history and current program of Mike, a mainstreamed sixth-grader with deaf-blindness. It addresses the boy's successes and the ongoing challenges faced by his family, his educational team, and his peers. Background information notes his diagnosis of total blindness and moderate to severe hearing loss, his integration since preschool, and the support provided for his community school setting. In addition to classroom-based instruction, Mike receives special instruction in basic academic skills, orientation and mobility, and braille/computer skills. The case study briefly describes family involvement and support, the school setting, and special education supports and services. Factors related to the relatively successful outcomes of Mike's program are identified, including administrative support, team decision making, student-teacher "matching,""fluidity" in teaching roles and methods, social accommodation in the physical environment, facilitation by the assistant teacher, peer problem solving, peers' attitudes and acceptance, and changes in qualities of peer interaction. Challenges and long-term issues are also addressed. These include coordination of orientation and mobility services, balance between providing support and promoting independence, entry into seventh grade, development of long-term friendships, and maintaining satisfactory learning outcomes.
