Guided coursework using four online modules of the training series:

Module 12: Maximizing Vision & Hearing
Module 19: Accessing the Curriculum and the Environment
Module 22: Intro. to Sign Language & Braille
Module 26: Touch for Connection and Communication

The training includes:
•Hosted module format with engaging case studies, videos, slideshows, short readings, interactive discussion boards, and more.
•Learning from experts, teachers, interveners, individuals with deafblindness, and families.
•Distance coaching, and course CEUs upon completion of all four modules
•Only 1-2 hours per week are needed to complete the modules (each module takes approximately 3 weeks to complete).

Upon completion of all 4 modules, documentation will be submitted for 2.4 RID CEUs for educational ASL interpreters.
