and remote communities. With partners like Mary Tellefson, a respected
clinical faculty member at PSU, the challenges in balancing ethical service
provision; role release to paraprofessionals or other team members; and
effective partnerships with families are being discussed in thoughtful
conversations with graduate students who often serve rural and remote
communities. In the next phase of revision, a version of the resource will

service delivery.
As we look to the future, we hope to deepen our effectiveness in
preparing culturally responsive and innovative personnel that serve
students and clients with visual impairments and deafblindness.
