The Department of Public Instruction secured temporary funding after federal support was cut.
This funding will ensure essential services for deafblind children and young adults statewide. The U.S. Department of Education ended the state’s Deafblind Technical Assistance Project grant mid-cycle, citing policy changes. In response, DPI obtained a subgrant from the National Center for Deafblindness to continue services for one year. The program serves 170 students statewide, providing assistive technology, coaching, family support, and training.
