flag U.S. education grants for deaf and blind children cut by $11M, affecting vital support programs.

flag The U.S. Department of Education has reduced grants by nearly $11 million to Wisconsin programs supporting children with hearing and vision impairments. flag The cuts affect the Deafblind Technical Assistance Project, which offers assistive technology, coaching, and family support. flag The project was set to receive over $550,000 until 2028, but the Department cited conflicting policy priorities. flag Wisconsin's Superintendent plans to appeal the decision, expressing concern about the impact on vulnerable children. flag Similar concerns are raised in Oregon, where a grant for the DeafBlind Project is also at risk due to an anti-DEI order. flag These cuts could affect access to critical educational resources and support services for children with disabilities.
