This study describes quantitative and qualitative dataregarding the
use of VISTA (Vermont Interdependent Team Approach) by seven
individual student planning teams and its impact on the students with
deaf-blindness they educated in general education classes with
individually determined supports services. The article describes what
VISTA is, existing research on VISTA, and how the current investigation
extends that research. The findings describe: (a) student progress, (b)
VISTA use, (c) VISTA impact, and (d) the interrelationships among
progress, use, and impact from the perspective of the students' parents,
general educators, and special educators. Implications for team
