Program description

Are you dedicated, caring, and passionate about providing care and support to others? If so, this program could be an excellent fit for you. You can make a difference by assisting individuals with combined visual and hearing impairments, helping them develop practical skills and maintain a positive psychological outlook.

Our one-year Deafblind and Intervenor Studies program equips you with the skills and knowledge needed to function as a professional intervenor, supporting individuals with sensory loss.

Through a combination of theory, simulation, interactive learning and community practice, this program provides the tools necessary to apply effective intervention strategies to provide support in educational, community and home environments.

You will have the opportunity to experience real work settings through community-supported field placements, where you will develop a wide array of techniques to communicate, guide, and use assistive devices.
