There are concerns over closing and/or merging schools for the deaf and the blind in many states in the US. (Click above for article link).
Teachers are concerned that these very different disabilities will be lumped together and they will be unable to provide for the students' needs. However, figures show that more parents are choosing to mainstream their children.
Some proposed solutions include shorter residential stays at programs or delay of these closures while other measures are considered .
When needs change, we have to practice good stewardship of the resources we have. If you have any input, feel free to comment or get involved locally.
