Interveners have training in specialized skills related to deafblindness, in order to provide 1:1 instructional support (supervised by the IEP team) to students who are deafblind. To help meet the needs of interveners in Texas, the Texas Deafblind Project at Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired is pleased to announce:
This workshop is for those individuals who are newly assigned in the role as an Intervener or for current Interveners who have not yet had the opportunity to attend this introductory training. Each intervener should attend this training with a professional member of the educational team (ideally the classroom teacher, but this could also be a teacher for the deaf and hard of hearing or teacher for students with visual impairments or another professional regularly involved with the deafblind student).
There is no registration fee for this training. Limited funds are available, as needed, to assist districts with the costs of substitutes, travel, lodging and meals.
Each team member who plans to attend this training should complete a copy of the registration form. A limited number of sleeping rooms has been reserved at the Courtyard Austin Downtown/Convention Center located at 300 East 4th Street Austin, TX 78701. You will need to make your own hotel reservations; you can call the hotel directly at 1-800-331-3131. When making your room reservations, please identify the group name as “Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired”. All reservations must be guaranteed with a major credit card. The deadline for room reservations and registration is September 3rd, 2009. Attendance is limited and is first come, first served.
