Iowa's Deafblind Services Project is funded by a
5-year U.S. Department of Education grant (2008-2013) with additional support from Iowa Department of Education, Iowa School for the Deaf, Iowa Braille School, and Iowa's Area Education Agencies.
The purpose of this grant is to build the capacity of families and service providers to improve the outcomes of children and young adults (birth - 21) who are deafblind.
