INTRODUCTION The National Technical Assistance Consortium for Children and Youth who are Deaf- Blind (NTAC) and its predecessor, the Teaching Research Assistance to Children Experiencing Sensory Impairments (TRACES) project, has been conducting an annual National Child Count of Children and Youth who are Deaf-Blind since 1986. This national child count, commonly referred to as the Census, is conducted on December 1 st of each year to supplement OSEP s federal Child Count, which includes children as deaf-blind when deaf-blindness represents their only disability. Since the majority of children with deaf-blindness do have additional disabilities they are not included in the OSEP Child Count as deaf-blind. In contrast to OSEP s December 1 count, the Census data are collected for children with deaf-blindness in isolation, as well as those with additional disabilities. The Census represents the first, longest running, and most comprehensive registry of infants, young children, and students who are deaf-blind. Rationale for an Annual Deaf-Child Child Count Through the years, the collection of deaf-blind specific child count data and its ensuing analysis has provided valuable information. It has assisted state and national deaf-blind technical assistance projects in the design of their services, as well as in meeting the requirements of their various funding agencies. It has also been used to: 1) identify national and state technical assistance needs and activities for children and youth who are deaf-blind, their families, and the service providers and systems that serve them; 2) identify research needs; 3) develop personnel preparation programs; and, 4) target national and state product development and dissemination activities. The Census has grown throughout the years and now represents a comprehensive data set including: The specific number and ages of the infants, young children, and students (birth through 21) who are deaf-blind throughout the country The primary etiology of their deaf-blindness Any additional disabilities they may have The type and degree of their hearing and vision loss Their ethnicity Their IDEA classification, special education status and placement Their living setting Considerations for the Reader When reading the information that follows, the reader should note that:

Although the IDEA definition is used as the common definition of deaf-blindness across the state/multi-state deaf-blind projects, each state deaf-blind 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. The language and reporting elements used in the Census are consistent with those found in Section 618 of IDEA. As federal reporting categories have changed, NTAC has adopted these changes and followed the OSEP crosswalks for aggregating and comparing data elements. 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. There is substantial variability in the individual state project data reports.
