As a teacher of the deaf as well as the classroom teacher, Kimberly Mockler works very closely with the teacher of the visually impaired. This involves sharing ideas, resources, and lesson plans for the deaf/blind students. Their lessons and goals are very similar and overlap in several areas. A major challenge for both of them is maintaining high expectations for their students while still presenting lessons at the appropriate cognitive level. The teacher of the visually impaired and Mockler are presented daily with the task of helping the students learn to be independent and not depend on prompts to perform basic tasks. For example, students should not have to be prompted to open and close doors, pull out and push in chairs, feed themselves, get dressed and undressed, or use the toilet. This article provides a look at a program for Deaf/ Blind students at St. Francis de Sales School for the Deaf in Brooklyn, New York. The program was established in 2009, and involved the creation and maintenance of a collaborative team to establish and pursue high expectations for Deaf/Blind students.
