Interveners
Overview
Interveners are individuals who help to provide access to visual and auditory information for individuals with deafblindness. Interveners typically have specialized training in deafblindness and most often work with children and young adults in educational settings. Although there are similarities between interveners, interpreters, and paraprofessionals, there are also key differences, which are described in this section.
