Program Overview
A 30-credit hour program offering undergraduate level coursework leading to a Shawnee State University issued Intervener Certificate. The Intervener Program is designed to be completed in two years. The Intervener program at Shawnee State is fully online and can also be completed as a College Credit Plus course program.
Applicants must meet the admission requirements at Shawnee State University. An intervener provides consistent one-to-one support to a student who is deaf-blind or dual sensory impaired (ages 3 through 21) throughout the instructional day. Coursework is primarily completed in an online format, culminating with a 2-credit hour face-to-face practicum experience.
Are you interested in working with children and youth who have combined vision-hearing loss (aka deafblindness)? Would you like to work in a school as an aide for a student with deafblindness, or learn more about this topic en route to getting your associate degree or four-year Intervention Specialist: Mild-Moderate, Grades K-12 degree?
Shawnee State University offers one of only four Intervener Technical Certificate programs in the nation.
