Ann,

Thank you for the info. I am gathering as much information as I can to take

to 's Vision Evaluation at the end of the month. Hopefully we will

get a better understanding of her vision so we can do what is needed for her.

Sheryl, Mom to Mitch 14 and 13 CHARGE

(and others interested in Intervention, labels, program, training, etc.)

I thought this attatchment for you may be of interest to the list. I hope

it doesn't crash anyone's computers!! There was a presentation on this made

at the International Deafblind Conference in Portugal. This contains

valuable information for many looking for help with the understanding of

" intervention " and the label of " deafblind " . Many have asked, " where do I

go now? " or " how do I convince the district my child needs an intervenor " ,

etc. " or " what is the difference between intervention and an interpreter " or

" how can we develop appropriate programs/training with intervention here " ,

etc.
