PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The major goals and objectives of the project remained the same as indicated in the original grant

application which was submitted on May 22, 1992. We have just completed the final year of the three

year grant. We have made tremendous peos point. Our identification efforts have yielded additional

persons with deaf-blindness who are in need of services. Our identified population has increased from

341 at the beginning of this project to our current level of 396. All of these individuals have been certified

as being deaf-blind in accordance with our state regulations and the federal definition of deaf-blindness

as set forth in the Federal Register, Volume 40, No. 35, February 20, 1975, Section 121c.37(a).

The information contained in this Final Report will provide an accurate account of the original

objective, activity and progress made until the end of the current project period which terminated on

September 30, 1995.

Our major accomplishments are the following:

1. We have been successful in our identification and early identification efforts. As

stated, our population has increased to the current level from the original 396 from

the initial 341 identified at the beginning of the project. These efforts allows us to

continue to offer support to families and coordinate early intervention activities. The

intent of the early intervention and identification has been to identify persons with

deaf-blindness. There has been a national problem in identifying this population

because these individuals have been counted under "multihandicapped" or "severely

profoundly handicapped." Our certified headcount enables us to provide the unique

specialized services which are authorized under this 307.11 project.

2. We have initiated and implemented a Model Inclusion Program which is being

operated by the Rockingham Consolidated School System. We have subcontracted

with this school system and provided minimal initial funding to operate as a training

site for inclusion programs. Several children with deaf-blindness are served by this

system and are included as part of this total school system project. This training site

provides information and instruction on a statewide basis to all persons working with

individuals who are deaf-blind and/or with severe disabilities as well as other

exceptional children on how to implement a successful inclusion program in their

respective LEA. In accordance with federal mandates. this 307.11 project provides

assistance in ensuring that students are placed in the least restrictive environment.

3. Another area of accomplishment has been with our statewide parent organization.

This project works very closely and cooperatively with the fannies of individuals

with deaf-blindness in the state. The project is highly sensitive to their needs and

concerns. Activities and in-hotne consultations have been arranged and conducted

to address these needs. Statewide workshops, local training and individual personalized services are provided to each family as identified by the parent organization

and in cooperation with the 307.11 project. Our parent organization has been

nationally recognized and has had a direct impact on their members and the lives of

children with deaf-blindness.
4. We are also very proud of the initiation and implementation of our Regional

Interagency Deaf-Blind Resource Teams. This concept was made possible by the

cooperation and dedication of professionals and consumers joining together to

address a critical need. Parents, consumers and professionals from the North

Carolina Department of Public Instruction, Division of Services for the Blind,

Division of Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Division of Mental Health,

Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services and the North Carolina

Council on Developmental Disabilities have organized four regional teams to

address a wide range of ndeds of persons with deaf-blindness. These efforts have

been made possible through a grant from the Council on Developmental Disabilities. The purpose of these teams is to:

Develop an awareness of needs of persons with deaf-blindness;

Plan and advocate for meeting the needs of this population;

Share resources and information about deaf-blindness across the state;

Develop working relationsIzips with other agencies; and

Provide technical assistance to individuals, agencies and service providers.

These teams have been very successful in making a positive impact on individual

families and persons with deaf-blindness. A "case study" approach has been used

to address individual concerns of families.

5. Our State Advisory Committee was also very active in advocating for persons with

deaf-blindness. The full committee meets a minimum of four times per y'ear.

Many agencies, families, consumers and professionals are represented by this

committee. The committee has taken an active role in identifying and meeting the

needs of this population. This committee will continue to have a direct impact on

families and persons with deaf-blindness.

6. During the administration of this grant we have provided extensive training to

teachers, administrators, related service personnel, and families who work and

support persons who are deaf-blind in our state. As a result of this application and

the subsequent funding, we were able to provide formal specialized training

opportunities for the following individuals as reported by our annual census data:

It should also be noted that numerous on-site training sessions and consultations with teachers,

paraprofessionals, related service personnel and families were provided and are not reflected in the

aforementioned table.

The documentation provided in our revised October 4, 1995 census data indicates that we

continue to identify persons who are deaf-blind who are eligible to receive services under the criteria set

forth in CFDA: 84.025A and in accordance with the federal definition. We anticipate this trend to

continue for the next several years as the number of children and youth who are deaf-blind increases. Our

application and accomplishments reflect the need to serve the current population and projects the need

for additional services for future recipients.

North Carolina has made a sincere effort to continue to offer and provide quality educational

services to persons who are deaf-blind in our state. Future public awareness campaigns and interagency

collaboration will ensure that we will provide early intervention and education for this population.

The following section of this document entitled, "Management Plan" will provide detailed

information about each objective as proposed by the original grant application which was submitted on

May 22, 1992. The "Activities" which were to be implemented and "Projected Tiineline" is also

included in this section. The most important component of the "Management Plan" is the information

contained under the "Accomplishments." This will detail the progress made for each specific activity.

The execution of this grant had been conducted with minimal difficulties. The only difficulty of

any consequence was the delay in gaining approval for an amendment and request to reallocate

unexpended funds which were carried over into the next program year. This delay caused difficulties

in ultimately utilizing these funds which resulted in unexpended funds remaining at the conclusion of

'his grant period. These unexpended funds will be reflected in our final budget report.
MANAGEMENT PLAN Main Ob'ective: Provide special education, early inte-vention, related, vocational, and transitional services to deaf-blind children and youth to whom states are not obligated to make available a free appropriate public education under IDEA. Services will include a). diagnosis and educational evaluation of children and youth at risk of being identified as deaf-blind; b). programs of adjustment, education, and orientation; and c). consultative, counseling, and training services for families of those being served in this program.
