Over
the past twenty years, the Blumberg Center for Interdisciplinary Studies
in Special Education has provided services for educators and families of
students with special needs in Indiana.
These services included professional development programs,
technical assistance and mentoring, and pre-service training.
Activities are conducted through partnerships with Indiana
schools, families, and community agencies allowing the Center to play a
critical role in supporting collaborative teams across a variety of
projects. Each of the
services provided by the projects are briefly described on this page
with more detail information found on specific project pages.
The Project for Responsive
Educational SysteMs (PRESM), funded by the
Indiana Department of Education Center for Exceptional Learners,
supports schools through trainings, technical assistance, and resource
dissemination in developing and implementing systems of tiered
prevention and intervention that actively engage school personnel and
families in the task of creating academic and behavioral success for all
students.
The
Deaf and Hard of Hearing Project is designed to provide
in-service training to support teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing,
as well as to work with Educational Interpreters’ Task Force in
developing statewide training protocol for interpreters.
The
Indiana Deafblind Services Project is a statewide service
committed to providing person centered educational training to
individuals who are Deafblind (Birth to 21 years), their families and
service providers through activities such as child focused
consultations, training, family learning weekends, a parent/professional
resource library, and dissemination.
Project
Vision provides a pre-service and in-service training,
resource information and peer support for Indiana teachers who serve
students who are blind or have low vision, as well as training to
increase the number of Orientation and Mobility Specialists across the
state.
