THE MD & DC ANNUAL CHILD COUNT OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH COMBINED VISION AND HEARING CHALLENGES

WHAT IS THE ANNUAL CHILD COUNT OF CHILDREN WHO ARE DEAF-BLIND?

WHY IS THE ANNUAL CHILD COUNT SO IMPORTANT?

WHAT EXACTLY IS MEANT BY THE TERM DEAF-BLIND?

WHAT IF THE HEARING AND/OR VISION PROBLEMS ARE CORTICAL IN NATURE?

DOES INCLUDING A CHILD ON THE ANNUAL CHILD COUNT / CENSUS OBLIGATE THE SCHOOL PROGRAM TO PROVIDE SERVICES SUCH AS VISION, HEARING, ORIENTATION AND MOBILITY, ETC.?

WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW ALL THE INFORMATION REQUESTED ON THE CENSUS FORM FOR A PARTICULAR STUDENT?

WHO SHOULD COMPLETE THE ANNUAL CHILD COUNT / CENSUS FORM?

HOW IS THE INFORMATION USED?
