We Are Here For You
The Florida & Virgin Islands (FAVI) DeafBlind Collaborative provides individualized consultation and training to families, professionals, schools, and districts serving children and young adults (birth through 21 years) who are affected by both hearing loss and vision loss (diagnosed or suspected)–with or without other disabilities. If you know a child or young adult who is unable to use her/his vision and hearing effectively for communication and learning, please contact the FAVI team for assistance.
