Suppport
We are here to help guide DeafBlind individuals through the process of finding the right resources for their needs and provide hands-on support/training.
Childhood
Education
We are interested in investigating how early educational experiences and communication platforms shape the long-term outcomes of DeafBlind individuals. By identifying gaps in inclusive technology and tactile language access during childhood, our research aims to understand how limited early intervention contributes to the compounding barriers DeafBlind individuals face.
Research
By investigating early healthcare experiences, childhood education's impact on health outcomes, and technological barriers to health information access, we aim to generate evidence for policy change and develop technology-based solutions that improve healthcare accessibility for the DeafBlind community.
Healthcare
The process by which latent DeafBlind individuals learn tactile ASL has not been greatly studied. Using Tatum1 as both a research tool and intervention, we study how structured, technology-assisted learning can accelerate language proficiency and expand communication independence.

Emergency Prepardness
We are working alongside emergency management agencies to ensure DeafBlind individuals not only have equal access to life-saving resources but the knowledge on how to act in emergency situations.
