Event
This coffee chat will share tips and resources on how to support families whose deaf or hard of hearing children may also have low vision or blindness, especially children who have additional disabilities. Since children who are deaf or hard of hearing rely on vision when trying to fill in missing sensory information, it is important to check their vision status.

Assuming competence is a phrase that isn't often used regarding young children, especially those with multiple disabilities. In this session, participants will hear from a parent perspective of a child with multiple disabilities (DeafBlind Plus), and how those in Early Intervention did not assume competence in either the child nor the parent; how this created confusion and turmoil will be reviewed.
