DB-LINK
is a federally funded information and referral service that collects, develops,
and distributes information to help improve the education and lives of children
and youth who are deaf-blind. This should be the first place to look for information
on almost any topic related to deafblindness.
http://nationaldb.org/ISLibrary.php
Teachers,
parents and others interested in deafblindness can search the extensive database
for articles or speak to one of the staff who will do the search and send articles
by mail. You can also access copies of DeafBlind Perspectives, which has
many articles of interest written by nationally and internationally know authors
in the field of deafblindness.
