We will explore ways to break this cycle by offering strategies that foster safety, success, independence, and connectedness with your students by using proactive and responsive strategies.

Sue Gawne and Allison Mail. Before the pandemic, our Early Intervention Program provided an introduction to deafblind communication and Intervenors/Intervention support. We provide deafblind Intervention education and hands-on consultation to children with deafblindness (birth to five years), their families and their professional team (such as Vision Specialists, Hearing Specialists, Speech and Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Music Therapists, Orientation and Mobility Specialists, Nursing Supports, Intervenors, Infant/Toddler Consultants, Daycare/Preschool staff, School Districts). Together we will share how this successful model works and the shift to virtual service delivery.
