CoNavigation

A CoNavigator (CN) provides supports to DeafBlind (DB) students by:

• serving as a human guide to provide access on campus for traveling to and from class, dining, sporting events, and other on-campus related activities

• relaying visual and environmental information

CoNavigators should be:

• helpful but objective,
• supportive yet empowering,
• sparing in expressing their personal preferences while providing services

Students are paid for time spent in training. Training includes:

• On-boarding that provides basic foundation for DB CN access

• Bi-monthly training with fellow CNs to focus on a variety of areas and topics

• FERPA training

We will also have opportunities for open discussions, questions, and guidance is always provided as needed.

The CoNavigator coordinator will work around your schedule and availability to match DeafBlind needs and accommodation requests.
