2022 HELIX Virtual Experience: High Expectations for Students with Low Incidence Disabilities
37. Putting It All Together: The Deaf-Blind Resource Teams Training Process
Session Dates
Wednesday November 16, 2022 10:15 AM - 12:15 PM - Webinar
Closed
Providing high quality instruction and support services to students with combined vision and hearing needs requires thoughtful collaboration between many professionals with a variety of different backgrounds. School teams often require technical assistance in order to expand their knowledge and skills surrounding this unique population of learners. One approach to providing this needed technical assistance is through the development of Deaf-Blind Resource Teams (DBRTs). In this session, attendees will learn about the Deaf-Blind Resource Team Training Process from some of its original participants. Members of the IU 3 and IU 23 DBRTs will share their experiences in the DBRT training process, lessons learned, and some implications for future practice.
Participants will be able to:
- Describe the purpose of a Deaf-Blind Resource Team and the professionals who comprise its core membership.
- State at least two main ideas that are embedded into the Deaf-Blind Resource Team training program.
- Identify the Deaf-Blind Resource Team that is nearest to their district/program.
Target Audience
Teachers, administrators, speech language pathologists, related service providers, consultants, training and consulting staff, paraprofessionals, family members
