就像安妮·沙利文（Annie Sullivan）为海伦·凯勒（Helen Keller）所做的那样，干预者为失聪的孩子打开了世界。犹他州立大学的耳聋干预者培训计划提供有关耳聋的专门培训，以使学生做好准备与在学校，家庭和社区中失聪的个人进行干预。此课程（适用于本科或研究生学分）对教育者，父母以及与失聪儿童和青年一起工作的其他人也很有用。计划完成后，学生将收到计划完成证书，然后可以通过国家教育者资源中心申请国家干预者证书。
Much like Annie Sullivan did for Helen Keller, an intervener opens the world for a child who is deafblind. The Deafblind Intervener Training Program at Utah State University provides specialized training in deafblindness that prepares students to work as interveners with individuals who are deafblind in school, home, and community settings. This coursework (available for undergraduate or graduate credit or CEU's) is completely on-line. It is also useful for educators, parents, and others who work with children and youth who are deafblind. Upon completion of the program, students receive a certificate of completion of the program and can then apply for the National Intervener Credential.
