Introducing Heather Dirks, The new Family Engagement Coordinator to the Iowa Deafblind Project.
Communication ResourcesHello Families! My name is Heather Dirks, and I am the new Family Engagement Coordinator for the Iowa Deafblind Project….
Iowa’s Deafblind Services Project serves children and young adults age birth through twenty-one who are suspected of having both a hearing AND a vision loss or difficulty in processing auditory and visual information. We are dedicated to building the knowledge and skills of all stakeholders involved in the education or parenting of these learners. We believe in using a collaborative, multi-faceted, approach to achieve positive, fulfilling futures for children and youth with deafblindness.
