Begun in 1986 on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education, it represents a nearly thirty year collaborative effort between the National Consortium on Deaf­Blindness (NCDB), its predecessors, and each state deaf­blind project throughout the country, as well as those projects funded in the Pacific Trust territories, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Initially requested by the Department of Education as an examination of the discrepancy between the state/multi­state child counts and OSEP’s annual December 1 counts, the child count has continued based on the work scope of the deaf­blind program national center technical assistance and dissemination centers and state/multi­state projects which have been federally funded in ensuing years. It has been collaboratively designed, implemented and revised to serve as the common vehicle to meet federal grant requirements for both the state/multi­state and national technical assistance projects, as well as serving 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 projects are funded, this national child count is used to help identify national and state technical assistance needs for children and youth who are deaf­blind, their families and the service providers and systems which serve them. The child count is conducted each year to supplement OSEP’s Federal Part C and Part B Child Counts (Special Education Child Count), which include children as deaf­blind only when deaf­ blindness is their single disability. In contrast to OSEP’s December 1 Special Education Child Count, the December 1 Deaf­Blind Child Count data is collected for children with deaf­blindness in isolation, as well as those with additional disabilities. This is a critical distinction in that nearly 90% of the children and youth on the Deaf­Blind Child Count have one or more additional disabilities. Consequently, a majority of children who are deaf­blind or have deaf­blind intervention needs are not identified as such on OSEP’s Special Education Child Count. For 2012, a total of 9,525 children and youth are included on the December 1 Deaf­Blind Child count. For 2012 across the United States, 555 infants (Birth­2) and 8,916 children and young adults (3­ 21) were identified and reported as deaf­blind by the state projects on the December 1, 2012 Deaf­Blind Child Count. An additional 54 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 9,525 infants, children and young adults were identified as deaf­blind by the state/multi­state projects. This represents a 1.46 percent increase from the previous year. In contrast, WESTAT (2012) reports that 1,587 students (3­21) were identified as deaf­blind on OSEP’s 12/1/11 Part B Special Education Child Count. Due to the non­categorical nature of Part C, no infants or toddlers are reported as deaf­blind since they are all reported as developmentally delayed or at­risk by their state Part C lead agencies (WESTAT, 2008). This 80% plus discrepancy between Part B and Part C reporting of children and youth who are deaf­blind and the national Deaf­Blind Child Count is significant. State Deaf­Blind Project directors                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                consistently indicate that most Part C lead agencies and State Education Agencies report their children and students with deaf­blindness as being developmentally delayed, multiply disabled, and/or visually impaired or hearing impaired, rather than identifying them as deaf­blind. Concerns about the under­identification of deaf­blindness and its resulting unique intervention requirements has been a consistent problem and one that often 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. In reviewing the child count data submitted over the years, it is notable that children who are deaf­blind are highly diverse. Clearly, children who are deaf­blind are as varied as the number reported and the nature and extent of deaf­blindness 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 are often accompanied by additional physical or cognitive disabilities, complex medical needs and/or behavior challenges. Data Elements in the Deaf­Blind Child Count Throughout the history of the child count, NCDB and its predecessors have continuously revised the child count language and reporting elements to a) remain current with IDEA Section 618 data requirements, b) ease the data collection burden of the projects, c) and, increase process and cost efficiencies. Current data elements target both 618 requirements and the collection of information to guide state specific and national technical assistance. Existing data elements have been broken out into specific Part B and Part C elements using 618 language. Reported data elements that are consistent with the IDEA mandated child counts include: • Race/Ethnicity • Part B and C Category Codes • Early Intervention Setting (Birth through 2) • Educational Setting (3­5 and 6­21), and • Part C Exiting Status (Birth through 2) and Part B Exiting Status (3­21) Data elements have also been identified for assisting State Deaf­Blind Projects in meeting their Priority b requirements (e.g., collection of demographic and needs assessment information). These 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 Considerations for the Reader When reading the information that follows, the reader should note that: • Though the IDEA definition is now used as the common definition of deaf­blindness across the state deaf­blind projects, each State Deaf­Blind Project has the discretion of establishing the criteria for their own project services • The Deaf­Blind Child Count is collected in a timeline consistent with 618 IDEA data requirements. A point­in­time “snapshot” is used to reflect those infants, young children, and students identified and eligible for services from State Deaf­Blind 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 Deaf­Blind Child Count are consistent with those found in Section 618 of IDEA. • The Deaf­Blind Child Count data presented are based on aggregate data reported by each State Deaf­Blind Project. While the aggregated counts provide a national perspective, there is substantial variability in the individual state project data reports Emerging Trends in the Deaf­Blind Child Count • The overall count for the 2012 collection of deaf­blind child count data has increased by 138 as new individuals continue to be identified by State Deaf­Blind Projects. • The distribution of children/youth across age groups has remained relatively stable over the past five years, with a slight shift toward a younger overall population. There has been a slight overall decrease in the percentage of the total Deaf­Blind Child Count represented by infants, birth – 2 years of age (6.2% ­ 5.9%). Early identification and referral to the deaf­blind 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 Syndrome continues to increase significantly. In 2012 there were 848 children and youth identified as having CHARGE Syndrome. The identified                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  prevalence of Usher Syndrome reached a peak in 2007 and has decreased over the past three years. • The number and percentage of children/youth identified as Hispanic/Latino has increased considerably over the past six years, increasing from 16.1% to 20.1% of the total count. The percentage of children ages birth through 5 who are identified as Hispanic/Latino is now 22.0%. • The percentage of children/youth identified as needing further vision testing has decreased from 15.6% to 6.4%. • The percentage of children/youth identified as needing further hearing testing has decreased from 20.4% to 7.2%. • The number of children identified as having received cochlear implants has increased from 167 in 2005 to 834 in 2012, a five­fold increase during this time period. This increase spans the age ranges, from infants to young adults. • Overall, the number of children/youth with additional disabilities has increased. In 2005, over 20% of the children/youth on the Deaf­Blind Child Count had no additional disabilities. In 2012, just over 10% had no additional disabilities. In 2005, just 13.1% of the children/youth on the count had four or more additional disabilities. In 2012, over 42% of the children had four or more additional disabilities. • The percentage of young children ages 3­5 educated in a regular early childhood education setting has more than doubled in the past decade from less than 15% to almost 33%, a 120% increase. • Over 60% of the children and youth in school age special education are receiving their education in local schools, with 65% of elementary school aged children being served at least portion of their day in a regular classroom in their local school. • One quarter (26%) of the children and youth on the 2012 Child Count participate in the regular curriculum as indicated by participating in statewide assessments tied to regular grade level standards. This percentage increases to 42% when only those children and youth are considered who are at the age and/or grade level for which state assessments are administered. Implications • The continued trend toward educational placement in inclusive settings, especially at the pre­school level, is significant and positive for children and families. The trend does, however, have profound implications on the needs for information, resources, and access to expertise in deaf­blindness being available at a local level. Concurrently, as schools                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    and Part C agencies continue to appropriately place and serve children locally, there are increased needs for more interventionists and teachers with a knowledge of deaf­blind intervention and instruction, as well as individualized supports, including the provision of intervener services. • The apparent continued under­identification and referral to deaf­blind programs of very young infants and children remains an important need. Infants and toddlers greatly benefit from having access to expertise in deaf­blindness in order to develop and implement appropriate services that address the impacts of 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 deaf­blind programs, access to needed services and supports is compromised. • Trends demonstrate that what has historically been one of the lowest incidence, yet heterogeneous populations, continues to become even 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. • This population continues to be more diverse in terms of experiencing additional 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. • There is a continued trend in the identification of children and youth who are deaf­blind and living at home with their parents, extended family or foster parents. Currently, 92.5% of children are living at home in their local communities. In contrast, only 2.3% are identified as living in a private residential facility (the next most common setting). • Given the above, providing supports to families, including providing families access to parent networks, and providing leadership/self­advocacy skills continues to be a critical component in the umbrella of services needed for children who are deaf­blind and their families. • The numbers of students on the Deaf­Blind Child Count who are exiting Part B every year, either having received a diploma or certificate, simply aging out, or transitioning to adult services, post­secondary education, or employment has important implications for the continued development of effective post­secondary supports for this population. This is especially the case for the growing numbers of young adults receiving a certificate of completion or diploma, which has grown from 160 to 248 over the past 6 years. • Finally, technology is having an increasingly important place in the lives of children and youth who are deaf­blind. 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 45% in 2012. • 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 deaf­blind, their families and those that serve them.
