Outreach Referral
USDB can provide services to a resident of Utah who is 22 years of age or younger; referred to the Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind by the person’s school district of residence or a local early intervention program; and identified as deaf, blind, or deafblind through a special education eligibility determination process or Section 504 eligibility determination process.
For assistance with a student whose hearing loss is in question, USDB will accept referrals for audiological services from a speech-language pathologist, audiologist, nurse, early intervention specialist, or special education director who has completed a hearing screening(s) at an early intervention center or school district of residence.
This referral form is for medical professionals and school districts to request comprehensive low vision exams and eye doctor certifications. This documentation is essential for identifying significant visual impairments and ensuring students receive appropriate support from Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TSVIs).
