Wynfield Christian Academy's DeafBlind program actively works to provide Deafblind children and adults with the educational and/or accessibility equipment they need to become productive and independent. We actively work to find funding for these needs and provide those needs through our own staff and operations when appropriate or help the individual obtain those needs through other agencies when necessary.
Wynfield Staff and members of the Georgia DeafBlind are now working to fund and provide an intervener and accessible technology and appropriate teaching materials for one student in the program now. ShaynePatrick, age 7, who is DeafBlind with other health issues uses American Sign Language as his primary language. He desperately needs a full-time intervener to bring the world to him in the ways that he can access it.

Come join us at the Juliette Jam II in beautiful, historic Juliette, GA on June 7, 2008 for a day of fun and music with bluegrass bands, historic Whistle Stop Cafe, home of the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes", and plenty of wares to buy. Proceeds of the day go to our DeafBlind fund for ShaynePatrick's educational needs. Come have fun and help ShaynePatrick, too!
