What Is an Intervener?

An intervener is a trained paraprofessional staff member who works one-on-one with a child with combined hearing and vision loss (deafblindness) to provide critical connections to people and the environment. Under the direction of licensed staff, the intervener supports communication between the student and others, provides access to information and the environment, and supports and facilitates opportunities for learning and development. This training includes hands-on activities, simulations, presentations, and group activities focused on understanding deafblindness and providing strategies for interventions to implement with their students.

What Is the Importance of an Intervener?

Combined hearing and vision loss creates unique and complex challenges. Often, the student with deafblindness has limited or no access to the learning environment or people, so the intervener provides accessible opportunities. Without the support of an intervener, a DeafBlind student might not be aware of or understand concepts, vocabulary, relationships, and language.
