InsightsThe concepts of intervention and intervenor may help you understand more about communicating and interacting with a person who is deafblind.
An intervention is the act of going or mediating between. With regard to persons who are deafblind, an intervention is the process that enables a person who is deafblind to receive information so that the person can interact with his or her environment.
An intervenor, not to be confused with an interpreter, is a specially trained professional who mediates between the person who is deafblind and others, enabling him or her to communicate effectively with and receive information from his or her environment.
