Workshop Description
Presenters: Dr. Jerry Petroff, Ashley Dalia & Angela Smith (The College of New Jersey, New Jersey Center on Deafblindness) and Kristen Gavinelli & Wendy Eufemia (The New Jersey Department of Education)
This workshop addresses the unique needs of individuals with combined vision and hearing loss, often referred to as deafblindness. Learning objectives include demystifying the assumptions many people present regarding individuals with reduced hearing and vision, as well as promoting awareness of the impact of the combined effects of a vision and hearing loss (plus additional factors) on human development and learning. Participants will learn more about the common etiologies, the under-identification of this population, and the important considerations for appropriate special education classification.
