The National Rehabilitation Board largely provided psychological services for deaf and visually impaired children in the past. Psychologists working in the NRB then transferred to the newly established National Disability Authority.
Subsequently, these psychologists were sub-contracted to the National Educational Psychological Service in July 2000. It is my intention, and that of NEPS, to ensure the continued provision of service to deaf and visually impaired children. This will be achieved through the recruitment of psychologists with such expertise and through the continued professional development of psychologists currently working in NEPS.
