Extractions: Mission Statement What is Deaf-Blindness? Behaviors that may indicate a Dual Sensory Impairment Behaviors that may indicate a Visual Impairment Behaviors that may indicate a Hearing Impairment ... Deaf-Blind Fact Sheets What is Deaf-Blindness? Deaf-blindness is a loss in both the vision and hearing senses . This condition affects over 8,000 children between birth and 21 years of age in the United States. Deaf-blindness has over 70 known causes; however, regardless of the cause, the challenges of Deaf-blindness are lifelong. Appropriate education must address both the hearing and vision impairments, as well as any other disabilities that may be present. The impact of hearing and visual loss varies greatly across individuals. The sensory losses occur in varying degrees with each person and a child need not exhibit all of the symptomatic behaviors identified in this brochure to be considered Deaf-Blind. For example, a child may show only one of the behaviors that indicates a hearing impairment, but show several of the behaviors that indicate a vision impairment. The combined effects of both of these sensory losses, even if both are mild, may qualify him or her for Deaf-Blind services.

Extractions: by Janis H. Bruwelheide, Ed.D.* A few highlights: The new, improved 110(2) permits performance and display of almost all types of works. There are some exceptions but the benefits are still substantial. There are still gaps between what we can do in distance learning situations vs. what we can do in a face-to-face teaching situations. For distance learning situations, think "clips and snips" which represent "reasonable and limited portions" for audiovisual works and dramatic, musical works. Read Georgia Harper's material for a more complete explanation and how fair use will be helpful for distance learning needs outside of the TEACH Act. Georgia Harper also covers exclusions from coverage and conditions, which apply. Her checklist is very helpful. The receiving location language has been expanded and no longer limits transmission of content to classrooms devoted to instruction and similar sites. Distance learners may be reached at any site by accredited nonprofit institutions as stated in the language that the benefits apply only to a "government body or an accredited nonprofit educational institution." The "accreditation" for post-secondary education institutions is "as determined by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation or the US Department of Education." As regards elementary and secondary schools status the accreditation "shall be as recognized by the applicable state certification or licensing procedures."
