Navigating Deafblindness: NCDB Professional Development Series
|
The National Center on Deafblindness (NCDB) offers an outstanding resource for teachers and related services providers: the Teaching Children Who Are Deafblind module series. Each module is carefully designed to help educators deepen their understanding of deafblindness while developing practical strategies they can implement immediately in their classrooms or in-home settings. You can explore this valuable professional development series by visiting the NCDB website.
Understanding Deafblindness and the NCDB
Deafblindness is one of the most complex disabilities encountered by families and school districts. Fortunately, there is a network of projects, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, that provide technical assistance to families and educators serving students with this disability. The network includes a deafblind project in every state and the National Center on Deafblindness (NCDB).
Although the term deafblind implies a complete absence of hearing and sight, in reality it refers to varying degrees of hearing and vision loss. The type and severity differ from person to person, but the key feature of this condition is that the combination of losses significantly limits an individual’s ability to access auditory and visual information. The majority of children who are deafblind also have additional physical and cognitive disabilities and/or complex healthcare needs.
NCDB has an extensive website with resources to support family members and personnel who work with children who are deafblind, aged birth through 21. Topics include:
- Identification and referral of children with deafblindness
- Professional development for educators and service providers
- Effective teaching practices for students with deafblindness
- Preparation and transition planning for students moving into adult life
