Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Unit Numerous reports, studies, and commissions conducted over the past 40 years have all concluded that the present status of education for deaf persons in the United States is unsatisfactory. As a result, the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Unit was established within the California Department of Education. The unit is responsible for implementing many of the recommendations of the California Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Education Advisory Task Force convened by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Further, <strong>this</strong> office receives all calls for the Newborn Hearing Screening Program established in California. For more information regarding the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Unit, please contact Nancy Grosz Sager, Consultant, Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Unit, at (916) 327-3850 or by e-mail at nsager@cde.ca.gov. School for the Blind The California School for the Blind provides educational programs for approximately 130 blind, visually impaired, and deaf-blind students in residential as well as day school programs. The school was founded in San Francisco in 1860. Students range from five through twenty-two years of age. Preparation for adult life and mainstreaming into the home community are long-term goals for each student. The School for the Blind also provides local educational agencies with a variety of staff development programs to assist with local efforts in areas of Assistive Technology and instruction of blind students. For more information regarding the California School for the Blind, please contact Stuart Wittenstein, Principal, California School for the Blind, at (510) 794-3800 or by e-mail at swittenstein@csb-cde.ca.gov. Diagnostic Centers First established in 1947, the Diagnostic Centers have evolved into regionalized programs for all LEAs by providing various assessment services for individuals with special needs who range in age from three through twenty-two years. Referrals are made by the LEA after it first exhausts its local resources. All assessments are individualized to match the student’s needs and LEA-parent questions and concerns. Nearly 66 percent of all assessments occur at the student’s local school; all others 90
occur at the Diagnostic Center. Teams of specialists in the fields of special education, school psychology, clinical psychology, speech/language pathology, motor development, and developmental pediatrics conduct the assessment programs. Parental involvement is emphasized throughout the student’s assessment. Transition services are also provided to special education students ages fourteen through twentytwo. Each of the Diagnostic Centers also offers a variety of staff development and training as well as consultation services to LEAs, parents, and other service agencies. Training topics are developed according to the LEA’s changing needs. For more information regarding the Diagnostic Centers, please contact Deborah Holt, Director, Diagnostic Center, Southern California (Los Angeles), at (323) 222-8090 or by e-mail at dholt@dcs-cde.ca.gov; Carole Bence, Director, Diagnostic Center, Central California (Fresno), at (559) 243-4047 or by e-mail at cbence@dcc-cde.ca.gov; or Mary Anne Nielsen, Director, Diagnostic Center, Northern California (Fremont), at (510) 794-2500 or by e-mail at mnielsen@dcn-cde.ca.gov. Clearinghouse for Specialized Media and Technology The Clearinghouse for Specialized Media & Technology (CSMT) is a unit of the Curriculum Frameworks and Instructional Resources Division, Curriculum and Instruction Branch, California Department of Education (CDE). The mission of the CSMT, which is federally funded through the Special Education Division of the CDE, is to make instructional resources accessible and meaningful to students with disabilities. The California Instructional Materials Fund (IMF) finances the CMST’s production/conversion of the textbooks, workbooks, literature books, and assessment books into a variety of specialized media, including braille, large print, recordings, American Sign Language (ASL) videos, and computer <strong>file</strong>s. The distribution of the various specialized formats to public schools enables students with disabilities to access the general education curricula. The CSMT also maintains an inventory of the federally funded American Printing House for the Blind (APH) materials and equipment designed for students who are blind and visually impaired. Through the use of its Instructional Materials Ordering and Distribution System (IMODS), the CSMT receives and fills orders from eligible educational agencies for both the specialized instructional materials and APH materials. The CSMT also administers programs like the (1) Reader Services for Blind Teachers; (2) High School Braille Reimbursement Program; and (3) Low Vision Reimbursement Program, which helps California public schools acquire large-print books, video magnifiers, and nonprescription optical aids. For more information regarding the CSMT, contact the CSMT Unit, at (916) 319-0881. Additional information is also available on the CSMT Web site at http://csmt.cde.ca.gov. 91
