Understanding Deafblindness and the Intervener

Northeast Metro 916 Intermediate School District and the Minnesota DeafBlind Project are co-sponsoring a workshop designed to provide participants with information about deafblindness 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 collaboration with team members will be discussed.

American Sign Language Interpreters will be provided.
