About Us

The National DeafBlind Coalition is a collaborative group providing advocacy, information, and policy recommendations to support children and youth who are DeafBlind. Working with stakeholders, they address the needs of this population, particularly in relation to education and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

History

The Coalition (fka National Coalition on Deafblindness) is a long established group that has successively advocated for systems change. It began in the 1980’s when there was a movement in place for the DeafBlind programs to be absorbed into the umbrella program for all children with severe handicaps, and for it to be eliminated as a separate category of service. Many of you have been around long enough to remember that the DeafBlind field revolted, created the National Coalition on Deafblindness to protect the program, and pressured the Congress to retain specific services for the DeafBlind.

Today, there is a movement to eliminate the national DeafBlind network and funding. Our efforts are still needed!
