Our Services | Deaf-Blind Resource Team
-
Deaf-Blind Resource Team (DBRT) services are intended to support the professionals and family members around a student. Through a collaborative model, the DBRT provides technical assistance at no cost to multidisciplinary teams addressing the unique needs of learners with deaf-blindness.
This technical assistance may address:
- Understanding sensory and communication needs unique to deaf-blindness
- Promoting inclusion of eligible students in a district’s Deaf-Blind Census data
- Identifying tools for initial and ongoing student assessment
- Conducting observations to guide technical assistance
- Obtaining materials and resources
- Providing professional development opportunities
- Assisting with the Communication Plan (e.g., sign language, augmentative and alternative communication)
- Identifying Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals
- Selecting, implementing, and troubleshooting technology tools
- Facilitating team development and collaboration at the student-team level
- Identifying effective, instructional strategies and best practices
- Planning for transitions (e.g., person-centered planning, self-advocacy, self-determination)
- Supporting, engaging, and connecting families
The resource team does not provide direct student instruction, therapy, or services.
