Encouraging, Educating, and Empowering Individuals who are DeafBlind.

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
Psalms 119:105 NLT

Jeri’s House is a faith based non-profit organization supporting individuals who have a dual sensory loss to build the skills and confidence needed to live independently. Training is adjusted to meet each individuals specific needs so they can become all that God has planned for them. Watch Jeri’s video to learn more.

Our Next Fundraiser.

We are blessed to have the opportunity to host fundraisers at Jason’s Deli on 61st and Memorial in Tulsa, OK. Each one is bigger than the last! Our next fundraiser will be Tuesday December 9th, 10am to 8pm. So, put it on your calendar! Jason’s Deli generously donates 25% of sales to Jeri’s House. Even better, they allow us a place to set up a table so we can spread the word about Jeri’s House and raise awareness for the needs of the DeafBlind community. We sell Jeri’s House merchandise like t-shirts, tumblers, hats, and of course Jeri’s book! It is always a great time. Can’t wait to see you there!

Who We Serve.

We support adults who are DeafBlind or experiencing combined hearing and vision loss. Whether from birth or later in life, our programs are adapted to meet individuals where they are and guide them forward.

A Place To Grow.

It’s more than just a house—it’s a community. Coming to Jeri’s House allows people to become a part of a community that they did not previously know. Here, connection happens through touch, trust, and nurturing support. We meet the needs of each person emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically. Our goal is to encourage the growth of the whole person. We strive to meet people where they are and we educate from there. We want to be a launching pad that offers the resources that will empower each person to take charge of their own life and become all that God intended.

Skills We Teach.

Learning these skills helps to improve each person’s self-esteem and self-confidence. They will realize how valued they are and how much they are able to contribute to the world. Individuals can find their purpose in life when they overcome the obstacles holding them back. The skills we teach at Jeri’s House help individuals to become all they can be.

  • Individuals will have the opportunity to read the Bible or other enjoyable books. They can write their own notes instead of relying on someone else. It is a written language that helps people to be independent.

  • Tactile Sign Language is used to communicate with people that have a combined hearing and vision loss. We also introduce Haptics, a form of communication that allows a person who is DeafBlind to interact more efficiently with others. This opens up the world for people who are DeafBlind.

  • Individuals will learn everything to maintain their own home: cooking, cleaning, organizational and identification skills, etc. Everything they need to independently manage their own home.

  • Individuals will learn the basics of inside travel skills for safer mobility. This includes learning to use a sighted guide and possibly the use of a white cane.

  • Individuals will have many opportunities to engage with others in fun and relaxing environments. Events include Bible study, monthly socials, outings, games, and more.

  • Individuals will learn how to express themselves to inform others of their specific needs. They must understand their own disability as well as their abilities in order to advocate more efficiently.

  • “To Jeri, thank you for teaching me to type and write in Braille, tell time, play Uno, learn the Braille alphabet, and how to cook. I learned a lot when I was there for 2 weeks and 2 weeks like how to type in Braille and use an SSP.”

    -Derek

  • "When I was at JH I learned more about using my adaptive technology devices. And I got to interact with other Deaf Blind people and tried to encourage them to stay patient and stick with it on learning braille. That stuff is hard to learn."
