Many states have a state family group for families with an individual who is deaf-blind. These groups typically provide information and support to families within that state. Check with your state deaf-blind project to find out if your state has a family group.

This can be an group that meets informally a few times a year, or a formal non-profit group with bylaws, policies and procedures. The group membership must be at least 51 percent family members.
