Intervenor for Deaf-Blind Persons (Short Version)

Intervenors are the eyes and ears for people who are both deaf and blind. This program, the first and largest in Canada, was developed in partnership with a number of service providers and deafblind consumer associations.

The Intervenor for Deaf-Blind Persons program at George Brown College provides the knowledge and basic skills to work with children and adults who are deafblind, including individuals who may be medically fragile. Intervenors make it possible for deafblind people to access information and to interact within their environment.

The program combines theory and practical experience, allowing participants to learn the specialized techniques of intervention including a variety of alternative communication methods. Skills are applied during the three field placements that consist of 28 days per semester in semesters 2, 3 and 4. Further learning is enhanced by a variety of field excursions and guest speakers currently involved in the field.
