The WDBTAP is a project within the Wisconsin Educational Services Program for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (WESPDHH) Outreach and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. This project runs on a 5 year grant cycle beginning October 1, 2008 and ending September 30, 2013. This grant was previously housed at the Silver Lake College as Wisconsin Deaf-Blind Education.
