A wide variety of children may be considered DeafBlind, regardless of the cause or degree of combined hearing and vision loss.
Each child who is DeafBlind has different access needs, experiences, and ways of learning and communicating. Many have additional disabilities. Reach out today to request support for your child!

About DeafBlind Interveners
An intervener is a highly trained paraprofessional who works one-on-one with a student who is DeafBlind. Interveners work with students who are DeafBlind to ensure access to communication, learning, people, and the environment throughout the school day.
LADBP can provide ongoing training and mentorship when a paraprofessional is identified by a district or IEP team to serve as an intervener for a student who is DeafBlind.
