Open Hands, Open Access (OHOA) Module Cohort: October-November, 2015
Open Hands, Open Access (OHOA)
On-line training modules on deaf-blindness
SCIDB is happy to partner with other southeastern deaf-blind projects to offer an opportunity for teachers, paraprofessionals and family members to learn about deaf-blindness!
What: The Open Hands Open Access (OHOA) Deaf-Blind Intervener Learning Modules are a national resource designed to increase awareness, knowledge, and skills related to intervention for students who are deaf-blind and are being served in educational settings (ages 3 through 21). The module content was created by a diverse group of experts in the field of deaf-blindness including state and national deaf-blind project staff, parents of children who are deaf-blind, higher education faculty, teachers, educational interpreters, and interveners. Each module includes a variety of accessible videos, photographs, slide presentations, and learning activities to help participants understand the impact of combined vision and hearing loss on learning, become aware of best practice strategies for working with these children, and to introduce the role of an intervener in educational settings.
When: The modules will open for participants on October 12th and be open for 6 weeks. You should be able to complete a module in a 2-week time span, spending about 2 hours per week. There will be two group web-conference sessions, one at the beginning and one at the end of the course. The rest of the work is done at your own pace.
Important Information:
· No grades are given for the modules, but the reflection journal for each module must be turned in if participants want professional learning credit from their state deaf-blind project.
· A facilitator will respond to participants’ comments and questions through discussion board and email.
