Civils, Carol; Russo, Joyce
This final report describes activities and accomplishments of a 4-year federal grant to provide statewide planning and improved educational and support services for 150 Louisiana children/youth with deafblindness. Activities and accomplishments are reported for each of six major objectives: (1) organizing project resources; (2) improving early identification procedures within school systems and other agencies; (3) increasing family access to services; (4) improving local capacity to serve students appropriately by providing services in least restrictive settings while ensuring that the curriculum results in functional outcomes and utilizes "best practice" standards; (5) assisting agencies in the design and implementation of transition services for young adults with deafblindness; and (6) examining the impact of systemic policies and practices on children and youth with deafblindness.
