Download or read book Early Identification and Referral of Infants Who Are Deaf-Blind written by Barbara Purvis and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiences that occur during the earliest years of life critically impact children's abilities to learn, move, and interact with others. This is especially true for children with severe sensory and multiple disabilities, for whom physical, communicative, cognitive, social, and emotional developmental domains are deeply intertwined. In recognition of the importance of appropriate early learning experiences for children who are deaf-blind, in 2006 the National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness (NCDB) selected early childhood identification and intervention as one of five focus areas for the formation of partnerships to promote initiatives aligned with federal priorities to meet the most frequently identified needs of children and youth who are deaf-blind and their families and service providers. In July 2007, an NCDB work group was established to lead activities in the early childhood identification and intervention focus area. The initial tasks of the group were to gather information about current needs and practices and to identify potential state and national entities interested in forming partnerships with NCDB on early childhood initiatives. The following three primary activities were conducted to accomplish these tasks: (a) a survey of state deaf-blind project directors; (b) focus group interviews with state deaf-blind project personnel in eight states; and (c) an extensive literature review. Collectively, the findings from these activities indicate a need for new strategies to improve early identification of infants and young children who are deaf-blind and increase referrals of them to state deaf-blind projects. As a result, the work group narrowed its focus to efforts designed to promote early identification and referral. This report describes the findings that led to this decision and discusses current initiatives undertaken by NCDB and state deaf-blind projects to improve early identification of children who are deaf-blind and referral to appropriate services.

Book Synopsis The 2008 National Child Count of Children and Youth Who Are Deaf-Blind by : National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness (NCDB)
Download or read book The 2008 National Child Count of Children and Youth Who Are Deaf-Blind written by National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness (NCDB) and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "National Child Count of Children and Youth who are Deaf-Blind" is the first and longest running registry and knowledge base of children who are deaf-blind in the world. It represents a 25 year collaborative effort between the National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness (NCDB), its predecessors and each state/multi-state deaf-blind project throughout the country, as well as those projects funded in the Pacific Trust territories--the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. It has been collaboratively designed and implemented as the common vehicle to meet federal grant requirements for both the state/multistate and national technical assistance projects and serves as a common data collection and reporting mechanism for use across the country. Consistent with the priorities under which NCDB, its predecessors, and the state/multi-state projects are funded, this national child count is used to identify national and state technical assistance needs for children and youth who are deaf-blind, their families, and the service providers and systems which serve them. This is the first year in which the number of children/youth for which "Further Testing Needed" category has been analyzed for multiple years. The number of children/youth for which further vision and/or hearing testing is needed has decreased from 2,873 in 2007 to 772 in 2008. This 2008 report provides the opportunity for early identification, intervention and the provision of instructional services aimed at the unique needs of young children and students who are deaf-blind and is a critical component that cannot be lost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A textbook with case studies for audiologists and speech pathologists to make recommendations for early detection and intervention of hearing impairments in the South African context Early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) is the gold standard for any practicing audiologist, and for families of infants and children with hearing impairment. EHDI programs aim to identify, diagnose and provide intervention to children with hearing impairment from as early as six months old (as well as those at risk for hearing impairment) to ensure they develop and achieve to their potential. Yet EHDI remains a significant challenge for Africa, and various initiatives are in place to address this gap in transferring policy into practice within the southern African context. The diversity of factors in the southern African context presents unique challenges to teaching and research in this field, which has prompted this book project. The South African government’s heightened focus on increasing access to health care which includes ongoing Early Childhood Development (ECD) programs, make this an opportune time for establishing and documenting evidence-based research for current undergraduate and postgraduate students. Early Detection and Intervention in Audiology: An African Perspective aims to address this opportunity. Grounded in an African context with detailed case studies, this book provides rich content that pays careful attention to contextual relevance and contextual responsiveness to both identification and intervention in hearing impairment. With diverse contributions from experts in local and international contexts, but always with an African perspective, this is textbook will be an invaluable resource for students, researchers and practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2000. Resources and training material about children who are deafblind are all too rare. The principles of contact, communication and learning are fundamental; they apply to us all. The process of putting these same principles into practice with children who are deafblind can be complex, incremental and challenging. This book rewards the reader by identifying what contact, communication and learning can mean for a deafblind child. At the same time it sets out detailed guidance on practice. Throughout, information is given with a rare insight and compassion for children with these very special needs.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Child Count of Children and Youth who are Deaf-Blind is the first and longest running registry and knowledge base of children who are deaf-blind in the world. It represents a 25-plus year collaborative effort between the National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness (NCDB), its predecessors and each state deaf-blind project throughout the country, as well as those projects funded in the Pacific Trust territories--the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. It has been collaboratively designed and implemented as the common vehicle to meet federal grant requirements for both the state/multi-state and national technical assistance projects and serves as a common data collection and reporting mechanism for use across the country. Consistent with the priorities under which NCDB, its predecessors, and the state/multi-state projects are funded, this national child count is used to identify national and state technical assistance needs for children and youth who are deaf-blind, their families, and the service providers and systems which serve them (Killoran, 2007). The child count is conducted each year to supplement the Office of Special Education Programs' (OSEP's) Federal Part C and Part B Child Counts (Special Education Child Count), which include children as deaf-blind only when deaf-blindness is their single disability. Some of the emerging trends identified in the 2010 Deaf-Blind Child Count include: (1) The overall numbers of children identified as deaf-blind has decreased over the past several years as projects continue to "clean" their databases. This trend is consistent with the time period of 1996-1998 when similar efforts were undertaken; (2) The prevalence of CHARGE Syndrome has increased significantly over the past five years. The prevalence of Usher Syndrome reached a peak in 2007 and has decreased over the past three years; (3) The percentage of children/youth identified as needing further vision testing has decreased from 15.6% to 7.3%.; and (4) The percentage of children/youth identified as needing further hearing testing has decreased from 20.4% to 8.9%.

Book Synopsis A Guide to Planning and Support for Individuals Who Are Deafblind by : John McInnes
Download or read book A Guide to Planning and Support for Individuals Who Are Deafblind written by John McInnes and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1999-12-15 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ground-breaking collection, leading experts in the field address the problems of parents, intervenors, and professionals who work with people who have been deafblind since birth or from a very early age. Individuals who are congenitally deafblind face the same challenges as those who become deafblind later in life, but they have not had the same opportunity to develop the communications skills and a conceptual base needed to construct an understanding of the world. The contributors address identification of deafblindness, planning and intervention, development, family support, and education. Just as McInnes and Treffry's "Deafblind Infants and Children" helped to change the approach to and the perception of deafblind children, this collection will assist in fostering a new approach to the education of and support for older children, youth and adults who are deafblind. An essential part of this process is to set forth standards for program development, implementation, and evaluation, which this volume aims to accomplish. It will make an essential contribution to the expanding field of services for the deafblind population of all ages, and to the improved understanding of parents, family members, and professionals who support them.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Child Count of Children and Youth who are Deaf-Blind is the first and longest running registry and knowledge base of children who are deaf-blind in the world. Begun in 1986 on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education (Baldwin, 1993), it represents a thirty plus year collaborative effort between the National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness (NCDB), its predecessors, and each state deaf-blind project throughout the country, as well as those projects funded in the Pacific Trust territories--the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Initially requested by the Department of Education as an examination of the discrepancy between the state/multi-state child counts and OSEP's annual December 1 counts (Baldwin, 1993), the child count has continued based on the work scope of the deaf-blind program national center technical assistance and dissemination centers and state/multi-state projects which have been federally funded in ensuing years. It has been collaboratively designed, implemented and revised to serve as the common vehicle to meet federal grant requirements for both the state/multi-state and national technical assistance projects, as well as serving as a common data collection and reporting mechanism for use across the country. A few of the emerging trends discovered through the 2011 child count include: (1) The percentage of children/youth identified as needing further vision testing has decreased from 15.6% to 6.3%; (2) The percentage of children/youth identified as needing further hearing testing has decreased from 20.4% to 6.9%; (3) The percentage of young children ages 3-5 educated in a regular early childhood education setting has more than doubled in the past decade from less than 15% to over 32%, a 113% increase; and (4) Over 60% of the children and youth in school age special education are receiving their education in local schools, with 65% of elementary school aged children being served at least portion of their day in a regular classroom in in a local school.
