Intervenors are trained professionals who help facilitate communication, access, and participation in all parts of daily life for people who are Deafblind. They provide Deafblind individuals with accurate information in an appropriate manner to enable them to make choices, plan future actions, communicate successfully, navigate their environment, and achieve as much independence as possible. An intervenor communicates with a person who is Deafblind using a variety of communication methods, including American Sign Language (both visual and tactile), two-hand manual, voiceover, print-on-palm, large-print notes, and more.
