Intervener services can help meet the challenges of providing students with access to communication and information they are unable to gather via vision and hearing. As such, they help provide students who are DeafBlind with a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment possible.  \nWhat is an Intervener?  \nAn intervener has specialized training in providing one-to-one support for students who are DeafBlind in the following areas:  \n● Helping them gain access to information and communication in the classroom.  \n● Facilitating their social development and emotional well-being.  \n● Supporting their communication and concept development.  \nAn intervener is a member of the student’s educational team, working under a classroom teacher’s direction. In the United States, state DeafBlind projects and university certificate programs are the primary sources of intervener training. Coaching and supervision, in addition to coursework, are essential.  \nInterveners are not necessarily appropriate for every child who is DeafBlind. As with any related service, IEP teams review evaluation data to determine a child’s needs. The IEP Team Discussion Guide: Are Intervener Services Appropriate for Your Student With Deaf-Blindness? can be a helpful resource for the team. The National Center on DeafBlindness has a wealth of additional resources on interveners on its Tools to Employ and Support Interveners webpage.  \nLearn More:  \nIllinois DeafBlind Project  \nProject Coordinator, Michelle Clyne  \n[mclyne@philiprockcenter.org](mclyne@philiprockcenter.org)  \n818 DuPage Blvd, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 [philiprockcenter.org/ILDBP](philiprockcenter.org/ILDBP)  \nNational Center on Deafblindness, October 2023  \nThe contents of this publication were developed under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, \\#H326T230030 .
