OSEP Project Officer Anne Smith. 2 Introduction The National Child Count of Children and Youth who are Deaf-Blind is the first and longest running registry and knowledge base of children who are deaf-blind in the world. It represents a 25 year collaborative effort between NCDB, its predecessors and each state deaf-blind project throughout the country, as well as those projects funded in the Pacific Trust territories, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. It has been collaboratively designed and implemented as the common vehicle to meet federal grant requirements for both the state/multi-state and national technical assistance projects and serves as a common data collection and reporting mechanism for use across the country. Consistent with the priorities under which NCDB, its predecessors, and the state/multi-state projects are funded, this national child count is used to identify national and state technical assistance needs for children and youth who are deaf-blind, their families and the service providers and systems which serve them (Killoran, 2007). The child count is conducted on December 1st of each year to supplement OSEP’s federal Part C and Part B Child Counts, which include children as deaf-blind only when deaf-blindness is their single disability. In contrast to OSEP’s December 1 counts, the Deaf-Blind Child Count data is collected for children with deaf-blindness in isolation, as well as those with additional disabilities (Muller, 2006). This is an important distinction in that nearly 90% of the children and youth on the Deaf-Blind Child Count have one or more additional disabilities. To compare these counts for 2008 (the most recent year with comparable data) across the United States, 615 infants (B-2) and 9,175 children and young adults (3-21) were identified and reported as deaf-blind by the state projects on the December 1, 2009 Deaf-Blind Child Count (NCDB, 2010). An additional 37 students were reported by those state projects, who by their respective State’s legislation or regulation, continue to provide services through the end of the school year in which the student turns 22 years of age; thus a total of 9,827 infants, children and young adults were identified as deaf-blind by the state/multi-state projects representing a 3.4 percent decrease from the previous year. This decrease represents a concerted effort on the part of projects to “clean” their databases. In contrast, WESTAT (2010) reports that 1,942 students (3-21) were identified as deaf-blind on OSEP’s 12/1/08 Part B Count. Due to the non-categorical nature of Part C, no infants or toddlers are reported as deaf-blind since they are all reported as developmentally delayed or at-risk by their state Part C lead agencies (WESTAT, 2008). In reviewing the child count data submitted over the years, it is clear that no single portrait can be painted to represent a typical child with deaf-blindness. Children who are deaf-blind are as varied as the number reported and the nature and extent of deaf-blindness in children is often misunderstood (Malloy& Killoran, 2007). These children represent one of the lowest incidence, yet most diverse group of learners receiving early intervention and special education services. They are an extremely heterogeneous group whose sensory losses may be accompanied by additional physical or cognitive disabilities, complex medical needs and/or behavior challenges (Muller, 2006). State deaf-blind project directors consistently indicate that most Part C lead agencies and State Education Agencies report their children and students with deaf-blindness as being developmentally delayed, multi-handicapped, visually impaired or hearing impaired, rather than identifying them as deaf-blind. Concerns about the under-identification of deaf-blindness and its resulting unique intervention requirements has been a consistent problem and one which 3 results in a lack of, or delay in receiving, appropriate intervention and instruction critical to children’s early development (Muller, 2006). The opportunity for early identification, intervention and the provision of instructional services aimed at the unique needs of young children and students who are deaf-blind is a critical component that cannot be lost. Recent Changes in the Deaf-Blind Child Count NCDB implemented a comprehensive revision of its child count reporting elements in 2007. These changes were piloted with the 12/1/06 count and became mandatory for the 12/1/07 count. Based on an ongoing dialogue with state deaf-blind project staff and other deaf-blind community members, four specific issues were addressed: • Easing the data collection burden of the projects • Increasing the efficiency of data collection activities • Increasing the accuracy of the data collected and reported, and • Increasing cost efficiency Activities initiated to ameliorate these identified issues included: • Definitional changes to increase consistency across states • Realignment of data elements with IDEA, section 618 data reporting requirements, and • Changes in documentation procedures consistent with IDEA classification and reclassification regulatory changes Definitional changes to increase consistency across states Although each state deaf-blind project has the discretion of establishing the criteria for their project services, the IDEA 2004 definition of deaf–blindness must now be used for defining students in early childhood special education (3-5) and school age special education (6-21) programs and for their inclusion on the Child Count. This definition was also adapted to provide a consistent definition of infants and toddlers with deaf-blindness served in Part C early intervention programs across the country. Realignment of data elements with Section 618 data reporting requirements All data elements reflect current section 618 IDEA data requirements. Existing data elements have been broken out into specific Part B and Part C elements using 618 language. Data elements which are consistent with the IDEA mandated child counts include: • Race/Ethnicity • Part B and C Category Codes • Early Intervention Setting (Birth through 2) 4 • Educational Setting (3-5 and 6-21), and • Part C Exiting Status (Birth through 2) and Part B Exiting Status (3-21) Data elements identified for assisting projects to meet their Priority b requirements (e.g., collection of demographic and needs assessment information) include: • Gender • Etiology • Documented Vision Loss • Cortical Vision Impairment • Documented Hearing Loss; Central Auditory Processing Disorder • Auditory Neuropathy • Other Impairments or Conditions • Living Setting; and • The use of corrective lenses, listening devices and/or assistive technology Changes in documentation procedures Identifying and maintaining current information related to dates of assessment has been difficult and costly for projects. This difficulty was exacerbated with the legislative and regulatory changes to IDEA 97 and maintained in IDEA 2004, which allow a student’s IEP team to use existing data in the reclassification process rather than requiring a new tri-annual re-evaluation. Consistent with the IDEA classification/reclassification process, revisions reflect a team decision to verify a student’s Degree of Documented Loss, rather than relying upon ongoing assessments. Changes in the 2009 Child Count There have been no new data reporting elements added to the 2009 Child Count or significant changes. However, clarifying language was added for Part C Category Code and Deaf-Blind Project Exiting Status. • To be fully consistent with Section 618 requirements, infants reported as “At-risk” should only be those who are at-risk for developmental delays, if this is an allowable category in your particular state. • To clarify Deaf-Blind Project Exiting Status the term eligible was incorporated into the definitions, where children/youth were either 1) Eligible to receive services from the deaf- blind project, or 2) No longer eligible to receive services from the deaf-blind project. Considerations for the Reader When reading the information that follows, the reader should note that: 5 • Though the IDEA definition is now used as the common definition of deaf-blindness across the state deaf-blind projects, each state deafblind project has the discretion of establishing the criteria for their own project services • The Child Count is a point-in-time snapshot and reflects those infants, young children, and students identified and eligible for services from State Deaf-Blind Projects on December 1 of each year. Thus, in many instances, projects serve more infants, young children and students over the course of the year than are reported on the December 1 child count date • The language and reporting elements used in the Child Count are consistent with those found in Section 618 of IDEA. • The Child Count data presented are based on aggregate data reported by each State Deaf- Blind Project and the aggregated counts provide a national perspective. However, there is substantial variability in the individual state project data reports • This is the second year in which the number of children/youth for which “Further Testing Needed” category has been analyzed for multiple years. The number of children/youth for which further vision and/or hearing testing is needed has changed from 2,873 in 2007 to 772 in 2008 to 989 in 2009. This increase is due to large numbers of children included on the 2009 Count for the first time. This testing must be completed prior to the next child count submission date for continued inclusion in the count. • Several states with new projects have undertaken significant efforts to confirm or re-build their child counts. Through these efforts, the numbers of children/youth submitted have decreased significantly this year. It is expected that through on-going efforts to establish valid child counts that the numbers will grow in 2010 and 2011. Emerging Trends in the Deaf-Blind Child Count • The overall numbers of children identified as deaf-blind has decreased over the past several years as projects continue to “clean” their databases. This trend is consistent with the time period of 1996-1998 when similar efforts were undertaken. • The distribution of children/youth across age groups has remained relatively stable across the past five year. There has been a slight increase in the percentage of the total deaf- blind child count made up of infants, birth – 2 years of age (5.4% - 6.8%). However, early identification and referral to the deaf-blind programs continues to be an issue with less than 100 infants, birth to one year of age being included on the count. • The prevalence of CHARGE association has increased significantly over the past five years. The prevalence of Usher Syndrome has decreased over the past five years. 6 • The number and percentage of children/youth identified as Hispanic has increased significantly over the past five years from 16.1% to 19.8% of the total count. This increase has been more significant for children ages birth through 5, changing from 18.9% to 24.9%. • The percentage of children/youth identified as needing further vision testing has decreased from 15.6% to 7.3%. • The percentage of children/youth identified as needing further hearing testing has decreased from 20.4% to 8.9%. • The number of children identified as having received cochlear implants has increased from 167 in 2005 to nearly 600 in 2009, a 360% increase. • Overall, the number of children/youth with additional disabilities has increased. In 2005, over 20% of the children/youth on the deaf-blind child count had no additional disabilities. In 2009, less than 10% had no additional disabilities. In 2005, just 13.1% of the children/youth on the count had four or more additional disabilities. In 2009, over 40% of the children had four or more additional disabilities. • More children are being educated in more inclusive settings in Early Childhood Special Education in 2009 than in 2005 (12.3% - 22.2%). Conversely, far fewer children are being educated in segregated settings in 2009 than in 2005 (18.5% - 55.4%). • More children/youth are being educated in inclusive school age settings as well. The percentage of children/youth educated in inclusive settings has increased from 2005 to 2009, from 8.5% to 11.3%. When the number of children/youth in a regular class between 40% and 79% of the day are included, nearly 20% were educated in inclusive settings the majority of the day in 2009. Implications • The apparent continued under identification and referral to deaf-blind programs of very young infants and children remains an important need. These infants and toddlers can greatly benefit from the expertise of state deaf-blind programs in receiving appropriate services to address dual sensory impairments. Further, parents and families of these infants and toddlers can benefit from supports and networks established within states. Without such early identification and referral to state deaf-blind programs this is not possible. • What has historically been one of the lowest incidence, yet heterogeneous populations continues to become more so. As our nation’s population becomes more diverse ethnically, racially, culturally and even linguistically, our national, state and local systems need to continue to adapt to provide needed services effectively to these children and youth and their families. 7 • Concomitantly, this population continues to be more diverse in terms of additional or co- morbid disabilities. Ninety percent of this population has one or more additional disabilities, and over 40% have four or more additional disabilities. This increasing level of complexity in the needs and challenges faced by this population also requires continued evolution and adaptation in the national, state and local systems to provide needed services effectively to these children and youth and their families. • While the numbers are still not great, the continued trend toward education in inclusive settings, especially at the pre-school level, has tremendous implications for the implementation of effective practices in the general education system, and for the increased need for one-on-one supports, such as interveners. • As the current population on the Deaf-Blind Child Count continues to age, more and more students are exiting Part B every year, either having received a diploma or certificate or simply aging out (259 in 2005 versus 375 in 2009). Transitioning to adult services, post-secondary education, or employment, has important implication for the continued development of effective post-secondary supports for this population. • Historically around 90% of the children/youth identified on the Deaf-Blind Child Count have lived at home with their parents, extended family or foster parents. This percent is actually increasing (92.7% in 2009). Providing family supports, access to parent networks and leadership/self-advocacy skills continues to be a critical component in the umbrella of services to meet the needs of children who are deaf-blind and their families. • Finally, technology is having an increasingly important place in the lives of children and youth who are deaf-blind. The past several years has seen rapid use of assistive technologies with these children, where in 2007, less than 1/3 of the population was identified as making use of some form of assistive technologies not related to vision or hearing (32%) to 42% in 2009. While the use of cochlear implants is still relatively rare with this population, the numbers of children/youth with cochlear implants has quadrupled over the past four years. This increase spans the age ranges, from infants to young adults. These implications provide a broad summary of the needs and challenges for the population of children who are deaf-blind, their families and those that serve them.
