2017 National Webinar: National Family Needs Assessment Results

by on Jul 12, 2017

Description

This webinar shared the results of a family needs assessment survey conducted earlier this year by NCDB and NFADB. The survey gathered information from 184 respondents about:

Their experiences with early intervention, education, community, and adult service providers that have worked with their children
Their needs related to information, training, and connections with other families
The supports they have received from state deaf-blind projects and national family organizations

This information should be of great value to state deaf-blind projects, family organizations, and others working to improve services for children with deaf-blindness and their families throughout the United States.
