The act defines deaf-blindness as a “concomitant hearing and visual impairments, the combination of which causes…severe communication and other developmental and educational needs.” According to IDEA this combination of impairments is so severe, it cannot be accommodated for using solely the programs designed for children with deafness, or a program solely designed for students who are blind. Because deaf-blindness needs such individualization, it can seem almost impossible to have the right resources in the classroom at all times. The University of North Carolina School of Medicine has a center called “Center for Literacy and Disability Students.” This center studies wide range of developmental disorders – including deaf-blindness – with the aim of addressing the demands of families and educators. Unlike other resources for deaf-blindness, this center is constantly researching and sharing their findings free of charge to all who wish to learn more. In addition, the center is constantly replenishing their site with the latest disability related conferences, making it easy for educators to keep up with the latest practices, all under and easy to find “resource” tab. https://www.med.unc.edu/ahs/clds/about-1
