Is the intervener presented with many challenges in assisting the child along the path toward his classmates?
The intervener must learn all about the child who is deafblind and appreciate her uniqueness. This person should have a secure understanding of the child’s vision and hearing and how information is received. Much time will be spent learning about the child’s personal system for information exchange. These things will be the basis for building a communication system that will eventually link the child to her environment and the people who are active within it.
