The MN DeafBlind Project & Northeast Metro 916 Intermediate School District  are co-sponsoring a workshop designed to provide participants with information about deaf-blindness and the role of the intervener.  This interactive workshop will explain the impact of deafblindness on communication, cognition, learning and social/emotional development.  The role of the intervener in educational settings will be outlined and the importance of team collaboration will be discussed.
