The Center

The purpose of the Center is to serve as a statewide resource for children who are deaf-blind ages 0-21 and their families, teachers, and adults who are deaf-blind. Included in the responsibilities of the Center is providing technical assistance to educational programs serving children who are deaf-blind, both public and private for children between the ages of 0-21. PRC library loans, phone consultation, and visits to the school or home settings as appropriate are available. Inservices and workshops which address the unique needs of those who are deaf-blind are offered to teachers and parents. Adults who are deaf-blind are served by PRC, primarily by information referral.

The Center provides services to the 0-3 year old population. Early intervention programs across the state receive technical assistance and inservice training intervention techniques.

The Center's goals are:

  1. To assist current service providers in identifying children age 0-21 with deaf-blindness.

  2. To assure that all infants and toddlers suspected of being deaf-blind are seen for necessary assessments.

  3. To assure that all infants and toddlers identified with deaf-blindness are receiving educational support services.

  4. To provide technical assistance to service providers and parents of children with deaf-blindness between the ages of 0-21.
