VIDBE-Q Volume 67 Issue 4
Enrollment is open to any paraeducator, with a high school diploma (or
equivalent), who is currently supporting a learner who is deafblind, or an
individual who is interested in serving in this role in the future. Although,
California intervener candidates receive priority enrollment, this online program is
open to intervener candidates from any state. To date, several out-of-state
candidates have completed the program.
A recent graduate of the program shared the following impression of this
training program: "Taking this course really helped me better understand my
student and her needs. The professors were there for support and help anytime I
needed it. It didn't matter if I needed help with my course work or my actual job,
they were willing to help by giving suggestions or just being there to listen. This is
a great way to understand your role as an intervener better."
