VIDBE-Q Volume 67 Issue 4
This question was clarified as meaning whether educational teams, in a
minimum of one local system, have agreed upon adding the intervener service by
either writing in the term or writing a description of the role that is needed to
support the student. Currently, an intervener may be added as a service through the
IEP process under supplementary aids and services or as a related service. IEP
teams often disagree and do not support writing in a description of the role or using
the term 'intervener' on an IEP, and the most often stated reason is that there is no
official state or federal recognition. Of particular interest, 3 projects reported that
they have partner agencies that support the role of community interveners, who
support individuals who are deafblind in their home and community. No further
information was reported regarding community interveners.
