Our Philosophy
We believe every person who is deafblind should have access to trained Intervenors.
The consultants at the Deafblind Outreach Program work with School Districts and school based teams to ensure that the unique needs of the student with deafblindness are being met, and that each student is receiving an appropriate educational program.
The Outreach staff views the School-Based teams and the parents as the experts on the individual learner they support. Our role is to bring our experiences with a variety of children to the team and to share our knowledge of proven strategies in the field of deafblindness.
The philosophy that drives the Provincial Outreach Program is based on respect for the people we support. This includes the student, the school based teams, District personnel, and the families. It is important to acknowledge the role that each person plays in the student’s life, and to appreciate their contributions. Our goal is to empower the people providing the day-to-day support to fully understand the impact that deafblindness has on their student’s ability to learn and to provide them with the most effective techniques and strategies that grow with the changing needs of the student.
