Abstract
According to national surveys, only about 6 percent of teachers who wo rk with students who are deaf-blind have specialized training in the f ield. The few new graduates of teacher preparation programs in the fie ld, coupled with the shortage of specially trained teachers, indicates that there is a critical need to train more teachers to meet the uniq ue needs of these students.
