questions to elicit consideration <strong>of</strong> current contexts<br />
<strong>and</strong> influences on educating children who are deafblind,<br />
<strong>and</strong> engender identification <strong>of</strong> ways to improve<br />
educational outcomes.<br />
High quality educational services to children who<br />
are deaf-blind require our continued dedication <strong>and</strong><br />
passion <strong>for</strong> seeking <strong>and</strong> implementing effective<br />
practices through coordination with families <strong>and</strong><br />
among pr<strong>of</strong>essionals. It seems significant that<br />
contributions to this issue represent collaborative<br />
ef<strong>for</strong>ts across pr<strong>of</strong>essional disciplines <strong>and</strong> also<br />
national <strong>and</strong> international boundaries. Progress in<br />
<strong>the</strong> education <strong>of</strong> children with deaf-blindness is<br />
measured by advances in our knowledge <strong>and</strong> skills;<br />
resulting changes <strong>and</strong> application to practice; <strong>and</strong><br />
consequently, positive child <strong>and</strong> family outcomes.<br />
This <strong>the</strong>me issue takes us one step on our journey. I<br />
hope that you will feel <strong>the</strong> same.<br />
