520 |a This final report describes activities and accomplishments of a 2-year federal project to provide support services for deaf-blind children and youth in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Objectives and their accomplishments are divided into two major sections: activities of the New England Center (NEC) for Deaf-Blind Services and activities of the NEC Pilot Project. For the NEC center, objectives and accomplishments of the Center which apply to all four states are presented first followed by a listing of activities and accomplishments for each state. Objectives include identification of young children with deaf blindness, technical assistance, implementation of exemplary practices, personnel development, inclusion of underrepresented populations, and project administration and evaluation. Extensive appendices document consultation activities, workshops, advisory/planning meetings, agencies serving deaf-blind children, programs, advisory committee, brochures, newsletters, and forms. For the NEC Pilot Project, which focused on facilitating the educational inclusion of young children with deaf-blindness in Massachusetts, accomplishments are reported by objective, including development of assessment instruments, establishing parents as central figures in development of individual educational plans (IEP), assisting local education providers in assessment, and encouraging team involvement in IEP planning and assessment. Appendices provide additional information on consultation services, classroom environment assessment, forms, meetings, workshops, Advisory Committee activities, case studies, and an article by T. Evans Luiselli and others titled "Inclusive Education of Young Children with Deaf-Blindness: A Technical Assistance Model." (DB)
