Welcome to the Minnesota DeafBlind Project!
The Minnesota DeafBlind Project is federally funded by a grant to provide specialized support for children and youth who have combined hearing and vision loss, from birth to age 21. Anyone in Minnesota can contact the Minnesota DeafBlind Project for resources on deafblindness.
Services and support range from workshops, inservices, webinars, emails, video conferencing for families and schools, family events, observations, as well as online resources as well as mentoring and coaching. All services are free to families, schools, professionals and agencies.
For quick reference, these are links to our most popular recurring workshops which are updated annually:
- “Understanding DeafBlindness and the Role of the Intervener” workshop (registration direct link) through a virtual platform on August 18, 2021. Download Event flyer
- Weekend intervener training series for 2021-2022.
