Parent Booklet

This informative 62-page publication was created especially for parents of children who are deafblind.  Through the authors’ combined experiences with their children and having seen the importance of intervener services to their child’s learning and development, they believe that it is critical that all parents of children and youth who are deafblind be informed about the role of interveners and be knowledgeable about how to advocate for interveners through the IEP process.  This booklet briefly describes deafblindness and the role of interveners, and then guides parents through the components of the IEP process that are most critical to determining the need for intervener services in educational settings.

A copy of this booklet has been disseminated to Parent Training and Information Centers in each state. An electronic copy of this booklet or an order form for the booklet can be downloaded by clicking on the following links.
