Money is tight. How are schools going to be able to afford to
hire ANOTHER teacher?
We are not adding another person. The Teachers of the
Deafblind would already be part of the IEP committee. We are
attaching Teacher of the Deafblind licensure to those teachers
already certified as a TDHH or a TVI (or, with more coursework in
sensory impairment, SPED).
Specifics about the technical assistance provided in our model:
The Teacher of Deafblind Pilot Program was based on a three-
year technical assistance program offered
through the TSBVI
Outreach Programs' TX Deafblind Project, in partnership with
Regional Service Center 4 (RSC4) serving the Houston area, and
local districts. The pilot provided an opportunity to participate in a
training project supporting new models for teachers of students with
deafblindness (TDB).
