In this episode, we explore deaf-blindness in educational settings. Who is considered deaf-blind? How does deaf-blindness impact a student in the classroom? What does communication look like for students who don’t use symbolic language? We examine how behavior can serve as communication, how educators can identify meaningful supports, and the significant ways deaf-blindness affects learning and social interaction. We also discuss the importance of specialized one-on-one support and the philosophy of “Do With, Not For” in providing access to environmental information for students who are deafblind. Whether you're an educator, service provider, or advocate, this conversation offers practical insights and guidance for supporting students in New Mexico classrooms.
