The 2008 National Child Count of Children and Youth who are Deaf-Blind NCDB The National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness The Teaching Research Institute Western Oregon University The Helen Keller National Center Sands Point, New York The Hilton-Perkins Program Watertown, Massachusetts October 2009 The National Consortium on Deaf-Blindness is funded through award #H326T060002 by the U.S. Department of Education, OSERS, OSEP. The opinions and policies expressed by this publication do not necessarily reflect those of The Teaching Research Institute, or the U.S. Department of Education. 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/multi-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). 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/multi-state projects on the December 1, 2008 (NCDB, 2009). An additional 37 students were reported by those state/multi-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 (2008) reports that only 1,578 students (3-21) were reported as deaf-blind on OSEP’s 12/1/07 Part B count (OSEP’s 2008 child count data was not released at the time this document was prepared). 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/multi-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 results in a lack of, or delay in receiving, appropriate intervention and instruction 3 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. Changes in the 2008 Child Count Three minor changes were implemented in 2008. First, clarifications around participation in statewide assessments were made. Second, Deaf-Blind Project status was removed from the Part C and Part B Exiting data elements. Finally, Deaf-Blind Project status was added as a separate data element. 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 Census. 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 4 • Part B and C Category Codes • Early Intervention Setting (Birth through 2) • 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. 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/multi-state deaf-blind projects, each state deafblind project has the discretion of establishing the criteria for their own project services • The Census is a point-in-time snapshot and reflects those infants, young children, and students identified and eligible for services from State/Multi-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 5 • The language and reporting elements used in the Census are consistent with those found in Section 618 of IDEA. • The Census data presented are based on aggregate data reported by each State/Multi-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 first 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 decreased from 2,873 in 2007 to 772 in 2008. This testing must be completed prior to the next child count submission date for continued inclusion in the count.
