Title from binder cover.

Individualized training for families of children and youth with deafblindness has units on Deafblindness, Vision, Hearing and Touch. .Changes in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) have expanded the role parents play in their child's education, and parents are finding that they need skills and information to support their participation. Focusing specifically on deaf- blindness, Project SPARKLE will develop a new model of individualized learning that can be tailored to meet specific child and family needs. Using internet technologies and a website that will be developed for the project, families will have access at home, to training opportunities, materials, community resources, and connections to other families at times that are convenient and meet their needs. Support will also be provided for individualized child programing through state facilitators and parent partners and will extend into the IFSP/IE Process. Project Director Linda Alsop's previous projects have included design and delivery of home based early intervention services, design of training programs to increase the effectiveness of intervenors, and Project PRIDE, a technology project.
