IDEA Definition of DeafblindnessDeaf-blindness means concomitant hearing
and visual impairments, the combination of which causes such severe communication and other developmental and educational needs that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for children with deafness or children with blindness.

At-Risk StudentsCensus Deafblind At-Risk Check-list
http://www.tsbvi.edu/deafblind-census/1981-instructions-for-completing-the-deafblind-census
A student with a suspected vision or auditory impairment may be on the Deafblind Census 1 year.Status of vision or auditory impairment must
be determined within this time
![Page 25: 2013 ANNUAL REGISTRATION OF STUDENTS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS AND DEAFBLIND ANNUAL CENSUS WHO QUALIFIES FOR THE DEAFBLIND CENSUS It is the policy of Region](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649d9e5503460f94a882c9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Other ConsiderationsIf a student is coded Deafblind (DB), and has
a visual impairment (VI) code, then the VI code does not need to be listed
If a student is coded Deafblind (DB) and receives services from a Regional Day School Program for the Deaf, then auditory impairment (AI) code must be listed
Deafblind (DB) should be listed first in order of PEIMS codes
