Services are coordinated with other state agencies responsible for providing services to children who are deaf-blind.

Project Reach supports the activities of four deaf-blind specialists who live and work in the different strategic geographic areas of the state and a statewide family specialist. These specialists work with local school programs and community service providers and families to identify and provide technical assistance to children (ages birth to 21). Information brochures, periodic telephone contacts, trainings, and on-site consultation on a variety of related topics are offered to program staff and families. Presentations are made at statewide conferences as a way to inform special education personnel and community service providers about the issues of deaf-blindness, services available, and to increase the identification of eligible children and those suspected of having dual sensory impairments.

Deaf-blind specialists conduct informal functional vision and hearing evaluations. They assist in the process of making referrals for formal diagnostic evaluations. Needs assessments are distributed to family members and professionals which allow them the opportunity to identify areas of need for consultation services and various forms of technical assistance.

The Family Specialist facilitates collaboration between Project Reach and the Illinois Advocates for the Deaf-Blind (IADB) parent organization. The Family Specialist helps families to connect with each other and provides technical assistance to parents and children.
