CAYSI serves Arkansas children with dual sensory impairments and additional disabilities, otherwise known as deafblindness. We work to identify the children in the state, promote academic achievement, and improve lives for children with dual sensory impairments through the education and collaboration of all educators, families, early intervention providers, specialists and therapists.

We believe in creating strong family engagement where families are invited to contribute to their child's education. CAYSI works with the family and school to build consistency for the student by providing strategies that can be implemented in the classroom and beyond. We value the family voice, understand the unique needs our families face, and celebrate the shining moments through family supports offered online and in-person.
