12:12:49 From Kaycee Bennett to Everyone : 18 interveners for the proficient communicator population
12:12:56 From Anne Olson-Murphy to Everyone : Thank you!
12:15:01 From Alex Driver to Everyone : So our intervener currently helps re-teach the materials that are being shown in his general education classroom just because of the pace
12:15:30 From Patti McGowan to Panelists : A safety net meaning knowing what the student does not hear or see and making sure they receive this information
12:15:40 From Rachel Collins to Everyone : Interveners help facilitate social communication/interaction between peers.
12:15:46 From Kaycee Bennett to Everyone : Please make sure your chat is set to "all panelists and attendees" so everyone can see your questions and comments
12:16:02 From Jean Deptolla to Everyone : Helps to direct attention during classroom instruction (e.g, look at the teacher, look at the interpreter, look at the board, etc. to support consistent, sustained, engagement.
12:16:57 From Rachel Collins to Everyone : Interveners provide all the environmental information about people in a room, their characteristics, etc. to the student that is deafblind.
12:19:33 From Kate Borg to Everyone : Today’s handout: https://tsbvi.live/coffeehour

12:23:25 From Hillary Keys to Everyone : Clarified instructions and lesson content
12:23:37 From Patti McGowan to Panelists : doing with and not for
12:23:41 From Rachel Collins to Everyone : Followed student lead to answer his question
12:25:12 From Yvette Hoisington to Everyone : The success occurs when the intervener was able to redirect the student but also validate his curiosity of things he is experiencing in his environment. 
12:25:34 From Hillary Keys to Everyone : Intervener's calm demeanor (related to the door) provided an undercurrent of confidence that not only affirmed, but kept Jessie from becoming anxious.
12:28:55 From Alex Driver to Everyone : Cole is my student! I'm so excited :) 4
12:29:14 From Kate Borg to Everyone : New!!! Texas Deafblind Project Website: https://txdeafblindproject.org/
12:29:15 From Edgenie Bellah to Everyone : That's so cool, Alex!
12:31:44 From Patti McGowan to Panelists : This allows for the wait time that all of our students need but often the PC does not get to process in real time but when the reteaching is allowed
12:36:48 From Alex Driver to Everyone : I am Coles' TSVI - and I just want to say that this video was created two years ago, and we are still changing and modifying the role of his Intervener to this day, because it is a very fluid position and Cole's needs change, so being very flexible in this role has been a very important part of his educational journey. 
12:37:08 From Patti McGowan to Panelists : You've got this perfectly!
12:37:25 From Patti McGowan to Panelists : Yes
12:38:35 From Hillary Keys to Everyone : Thank you for the update and insight, Alex. You make a very important point the student's needs may change as the demands on the student changes and the student matures. 
12:40:53 From Patti McGowan to Panelists : The PC will lead his/her intervener towards the end of their education- which is great self determination- as his Mom, however I would remind the intervener that he does not know what he has missed :)
12:41:33 From Patti McGowan to Panelists : Yes
12:44:26 From TSBVI Outreach Media to Everyone : Today’s handout: https://tsbvi.live/coffeehour
12:45:17 From Patti McGowan to Panelists : yes, a softwar

12:47:00 From Rebecca Colagreco to Panelists : Where is a good program to get certified as a D/B Intervener?
12:48:11 From Patti McGowan to Panelists : no
12:48:19 From Kate Borg to Everyone : Rebecca asks: Where is a good program to get certified as a D/B Intervener?
12:48:21 From Kate Borg to Everyone : There are a  couple of great programs. One is through Utah State University: https://www.usu.edu/online/degrees/certificate/deafblind-intervener-training-certificate/
12:48:38 From Rachel Collins to Everyone : Question for Patty: Did Hunter have 2 additional class periods added for the pre-teach and reteach?
12:48:45 From Rachel Collins to Everyone : She's now a TODHH
12:48:45 From Rebecca Colagreco to Panelists : Thank you

12:49:15 From Rachel Collins to Everyone : Jennifer Groeschen is now a TODHH. She was Natalie's intervener before that.
12:50:39 From Robbie Blaha to Everyone : Thanks to Alex and Cole’s team by not only providing cutting edge services to their proficient communicator but making this video to train other teams. This video is going to seen by many because the National Center on Deafblindess has it on their website. So a heartfelt thank you to Cole, his family and his amazing team.
12:51:48 From Robbie Blaha to Everyone : Just love this technology tracking tool.
12:52:44 From Hillary Keys to Everyone : Wow Patti! That is a fabulous organizational tool. :D
