The ASDB Intinerant Services were created to help support students who are deaf/hard of hearing or blind/visually impaired in the general education classroom within their public school setting. If a student requires full-time intensive services from a teacher of the visually impaired or a teacher of the deaf/hard of hearing, the Individualized Education Program (IEP) team will look at all the options available to best meet those needs.

Through regional cooperatives, ASDB provides services to students who are deaf/hard of hearing, blind/visually impaired, multiply sensory disabled, or deafblind in their local schools. Please checkout our webpageASDB ITINERANT SERVICES
