310 Arkansans are deaf and blind
Today begins National Deaf-Blind Awareness Week. Beth Bourgeois of the Arkansas Department of Education says people who are deaf and blind have many possibilities, depending on their choices and level of skill. She says training for teachers is provided, as is family support through home visits, support meetings, and other activities. More than 300 Arkansans are considered deaf and blind. The state Division of Services for the Blind provides assistance in education and finding jobs. Governor Beebe is to sign a proclamation tomorrow announcing this national awareness week.
