This training is FREE due to a generous subsidy through the MN DeafBlind Project.

The Open Hands Open Access (OHOA) Deaf-Blind Learning Modules are a national resource designed to increase awareness, knowledge, and skills related to intervention for students who are deafblind and are being served in educational settings (ages 3 -21).  

Guided coursework using four online modules of the training series:

Welcome & Orientation
Module 2:  Sensory Systems
Module 4: Building Relationships
Module 5: Availability for Learning

The training includes:

 * Hosted module format with engaging case studies, videos, slideshows, short readings, interactive group discussions and more.

* Learning from experts, teachers, interveners, individuals with deafblindness, and families

* Distance coaching, and course CEUs upon completion of ALL modules

* Each module takes approximately 6 hours to complete. 

**RECOMMENDED: Moodle works best on a laptop or computer. This is recommended instead of a tablet.**

Cancellation: You can cancel your own registration for an event before the cancellation deadline. (Please check the event information for specific cancellation details.) If the event has a fee, refunds are possible only if cancellation is prior to the deadline. If you do not attend and do not cancel prior to an event, you are still responsible for payment and will be billed.

(BrightWorks requires a notice of 2 business days to cancel a sign language interpreter. If you fail to cancel, we reserve the right to bill your school/district for this expense.) Update your profile as needed. Special accommodations are not included with each registration, but are stored in your profile until you make changes.
