A student with a suspected vision or auditory impairment may be on the Deafblind Census 1 year.Status of vision or auditory impairment must
be determined within this time
Other ConsiderationsIf a student is coded Deafblind (DB), and has
a visual impairment (VI) code, then the VI code does not need to be listed
If a student is coded Deafblind (DB) and receives services from a Regional Day School Program for the Deaf, then auditory impairment (AI) code must be listed
Deafblind (DB) should be listed first in order of PEIMS codes
