  14. Census Definition of Deafblindness • A student who has auditory and visual impairments • Severe communication and other developmental learning needs • Need special education and related services • http://tsbvi.edu/deafblind-census/1980-definition-of-deafblindness

  15. IDEA Definition of Deafblindness • Deaf-blindness means concomitant hearing and visual impairments, the combination of which causes such severe communication and other developmental and educational needs that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for children with deafness or children with blindness. • http://idea.ed.gov/explore/view/p/,root,regs,300,A,300%252E8

  18. Students on the Deafblind Census • Who may be on the Deafblind Census? • A student who is coded Visually Impaired (VI) and is not coded AI, DB or at-risk for deafblindness? • No

  19. A student who is coded Deafblind (DB) (with or without any other labels)? • Yes

  20. A student who is coded Visually Impaired (VI) and Auditorily impaired (AI)(with or without any other labels)? • Yes

At-Risk Students • Census Deafblind At-Risk Check-list • http://www.tsbvi.edu/deafblind-census/1981-instructions-for-completing-the-deafblind-census • A student with a suspected vision or auditory impairment may be on the Deafblind Census 1 year. • Status of vision or auditory impairment must be determined within this time

  25. Other Considerations • If a student is coded Deafblind (DB), and has a visual impairment (VI) code, then the VI code does not need to be listed • If a student is coded Deafblind (DB) and receives services from a Regional Day School Program for the Deaf, then auditory impairment (AI) code must be listed • Deafblind (DB) should be listed first in order of PEIMS codes

  26. Consent for Release of Confidential Information • All students with a visual impairment must have Consent for Release of Confidential Information from the Registration of Students with Visual Impairments signed • In addition, all students on the Deafblind Census must have Consent for Release of Confidential Information from the Deafblind Census signed • Students who are coded VI and also on the Deafblind Census must have both forms in their eligibility folders • http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/special.ed/forms/viforms.html
