Students who are Deafblind
There are approximately 70 students in British Columbia who are
identified as students who are deafblind (BC Ministry of Education, 2015).
Most students are served in their community schools by educational teams
that include an intervener, a teacher of students with visual impairment,
teacher of students with hearing impairment, and a teacher-consultant from
the Provincial Outreach Program for Students with Deafblindness (POPDB).
These specialist teachers work in collaboration with school-based teams and
interveners to develop and implement programming for students who are
deafblind.
