Training and Technical Assistance

(Child Specific Training, Support and Guidance)

Technical Assistance (TA) includes training and consultation in specific knowledge and skills needed when working with a student who are deafblind. These specific areas include, but are not limited to, communication, language, social skills, behavior, and transition.  We work with each team to determine the type of TA and training content appropriate that will support improved skills for the educational team and outcomes for the student.

Examples of Trainings Offered:

• Overview of Deafblindness: Participants will learn about the impact of deafblindness on access to information and specific strategies to support learning.  Participants will be provided with information about supports and resources on deafblindness that are available for educational teams.
• Communication Kickoff: Participants will develop an understanding of communication modes used by students who are deafblindness, understand how to use the Communication Matrix to assess students who are early communicators and use the results to develop an individualized education plan.

***Please be advised that trainings listed above are just examples of what is offered but are not limited to these topics. ***
