Training for Educational Interveners

When a school program designates an intervener, they are eligible to receive training and support from the Texas Deafblind Project that includes training provided through annual training events (workshops and conferences), support to go to regional and local training events, training provided one-on-one through onsite consultation to the intervener and team, and information and support through distance education methods such as email and TETN.  Form more information contact Cyral Miller at 512-206-9242 or email cyralmiller@tsbvi.edu
