An Invitation From Lanya -
As my supporters, you know this site as a place where I can share my thoughts , research and resources in the deafblind community. Today, I am branching out to reach more families and help them navigate life as parents of children with disabilities.
In this new endeavor, I will continue my research, speaking and training as I have done for years, but I will also provide counseling for families. This fall, my memoir, "Silence and Light", will be released. I hope by sharing my journey, I can help others.
I invite you to visit my new site and follow me as I start this new path. Thank you for all your support.

The mission
To serve the deafblind community through expanding and bringing to practice family educational research specific to deafblindness.
The Challenge
Deafblindness isn't a common disability. As such, it is often misunderstood by Individualized Education Program teams. Deafblindness is heterogeneous - which means it impacts each individual differently. If you have a child who is deafblind, you understand the unique challenges involved and how important it is to ensure students who are deafblind receive necessary educational support.
