About College Certificate - Deafblind and Intervenor Studies (C158)
Program Description
This one-year Ontario college certificate will prepare students to work with individuals who have a combined vision and hearing loss. Students will learn various communication methods to support individuals with deafblindness in accessing information and interacting more fully with their environment.
Most courses are delivered online with some in-person content (semester 1 is delivered fully online; the first seven week of semester 2 are taught in-person and the second seven weeks are taught online).
What students will learn:
- How to work with Deafblind children and adults – many of whom are often medically fragile.
- American Sign Language (ASL) – a visual language that is adapted to accommodate for the vision loss of those with this dual sensory loss.
- Professionalism, values and ethics, health and aging.
- How to interact with members of the Deafblind community both virtually and in-person. For those attending from outside of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), interactive sessions will be arranged in your community.
- Students will get hands-on experience through field practice. This may be completed across Canada in your community through George Brown College partnerships.
