Illinois State Board of Education, Springfield.
This final report describes activities and accomplishments of a four-year federally funded project in Illinois to provide technical assistance to agencies and organizations providing early intervention, educational, transitional, vocational, and related services to children with deaf-blindness. The project supported the activities of deaf-blind specialists throughout the state in their work with local school programs and community service providers. Information brochures, periodic telephone contacts, and training on various related topics were offered to these specialists. Presentations were made at state-wide conferences.
