Mission
Connections Beyond Sight and Sound, the Maryland and DC DeafBlind Project is committed to supporting families, teachers, and service providers in their endeavors to improve outcomes for children and youth who experience both vision and hearing loss. Through providing technical assistance, training, and information, we aspire to improve the quality of life for people with deafblindness as they live in their homes, learn in their schools, socialize in their communities and access the services they choose.
