Course Overview

When combined with another special education license (Visual Impairments, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Severe Disabilities, Mild/Moderate Disabilities, Early Childhood Special Education), the program leads to an endorsement in Deafblindness in Utah. Teachers with the endorsement may serve as itinerant deafblind consultants or as classroom teachers serving a variety of children including those who are deafblind. They may work in school districts or specialized schools for children with sensory disabilities.  Children and youth who are deafblind comprise a very heterogeneous population, but most have disabilities in addition to deafblindness and this program is designed to prepare teachers to meet the unique and intensive needs of the varied population. In addition to specialization courses in Deafblindness, candidates take classes in Visual Impairments, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Severe Disabilities, and American Sign Language.
