Deaf-Blind Role Model Program in Israel

A Center for Deaf-Blind people in Israel has developed a successful program pairing children and teens with Usher Syndrome with older role models who are also deaf-blind from Usher Syndrome. This program helps the children and teens cope with the psychological ramifications of their Usher Syndrome. This article mentions an article from Deaf-Blind Perspectives about the program: "Children with Usher Syndrome: Learning to Work Through Mentors."
