FAMILY LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES - May 2019 Intervener Roles and Responsibilities For information about the roles and responsibilities of interveners in educational settings, we encourage you to explore the Open Hands, Open Access (OHOA): Deaf-Blind Intervener Learning Modules. This national resource is designed to increase awareness, knowledge, and skills related to intervention for students (ages 3 through 21) who are deaf-blind. The modules are self-paced and free, so you can enjoy them as time permits. The modules in the “Professionalism” section include: • • • •

The Role of the Intervener in Educational Settings Collaborative Teaming and Family Partnerships Values, Ethics, and Professionalism Putting it All Together

Spending time reviewing these modules will help you, and any professionals you share them with, gain knowledge about the role of interveners in the education of students who are deafblind and the importance of a strong educational team that includes interveners and families.
