Description of CE Program/Activity
 This is a training for team members who are working with a deafblind student (birth-22) who has been assigned an educational intervener or one on one professional. The intervener needs to attend with at least one team member.Interveners need specialized skills related to deafblindness, in order to provide one-on-one instructional support to students who are deafblind. They need appropriate supervision and support from the IEP team. To help meet the needs of interveners in Texas, the Texas Deafblind Project is pleased to announce the 2015 Introduction to the Intervener Team Model.This conference is for those individuals who are newly assigned as an intervener or current interveners who have not yet had the opportunity to attend this introductory training. Each intervener should attend with a professional member of the educational team (ideally a classroom teacher or a teacher for the deaf and hard of hearing or teacher for students with visual impairments or another professional regularly involved with the student). Adult family members of the student are welcomed.
