Multiple Sensory Impairment (Deafblindness) (TCNJ/NJDOE) (In-Person Workshop)

Summer Learning Institute 2024

Date(s) & Time(s) July 23, 2024   ~  9:00 am - 12:00 pm
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 developmental and educational needs of students who experience significant challenges to their primary human sensory system. These infants, children and youth are often referred to as experiencing multiple sensory impairment, dual sensory impairment, or appropriately classified as ?deafblind?. Although most people with multisensory impairment/deafblind have useful residual senses, either vision or hearing or both, the combination of impairments of vision and hearing can cause far more difficulty than might be expected from the impact of each separately. Participants will be provided with specific guidelines to ensure that students with deafblindness or multiple sensory impairment are appropriately classified.
