discussion boards, quizzes, and embedded slide shows, for learning. Using a
5-point Likert scale, 95.7% of a sample of 745 users reported that they
learned new information from the OHOA modules. All network partners agree
that using OHOA, as with any online resource, cannot replace the need for
onsite technical assistance and individualized support for teams. However,
many are finding that OHOA may be used to supplement outreach and
technical assistance to diverse regions in a state.
The following eight OHOA modules are now available for universal
registration through the NCDB website. Another ten modules are currently
being field-tested and eight more are in development this spring/summer.
When the project is completed in 2016, OHOA will consist of a total of 26
modules which
align with the Council for Exceptional Children's Specialization
Knowledge and Skill Set for Paraeducators Who Are Interveners for
Individuals with Deaf-Blindness (CEC, 2009).
Module 1: An Overview of Deaf-Blindness and Instructional Strategies
Module 2: The Sensory System, the Brain, and Learning
Module 3: The Role of the Intervener in Educational Settings
