knowledge about intervener services.
Comments from Parents Who Have Participated in the Training:
The concept of intervention was not new to me, but it had become dull, in need
of fine tuning. This class helped me examine and see errors that had crept into my
own role with my son. The examples of individual students working with interveners
were very inspiring. I cannot but help feel a sense of deep gratitude for the dedication
of the people who have put together this course and feel immensely privileged to have
had the opportunity to participate in it.
I would like to thank everyone who worked on this project. . . . I learned how to
explain what an intervener is and even more importantly I learned how to better
explain what my son's intervener needs to be. It is really important for parents to be
able to specifically explain to educators what their child needs.
The thing I found most helpful about this module was the reminder to respect
my child! I know that sounds odd, but he is 17 and I've been through years of
training. There are so many things we learn to work on, that it has been a long time
since I was reminded to "respect" him with regard to not pushing him through
something if he does not like it. There are so many common topics that he does not
like and they are just easier to avoid than to push him through them, if they are not
necessary tasks. Since doing this we've been getting along better!!!
I found the module a great reminder and refresher course on very essential
basics!
