Special Education Teacher (DHH/VI) - Deaf-Blind Intervener Specialist

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Are you a credentialed Special Education professional looking to make a profound, one-on-one impact? We are seeking a dedicated specialist to support a student navigating a recent transition to dual sensory loss. This is not a standard classroom role; you will be the student’s primary connection to the world, providing both Deaf-Blind Intervener support and Specialized Academic Instruction (SAI).

As a Dual-Role Specialist, you will act as the student's "eyes and ears," utilizing tactile communication to bridge the gap between the curriculum and the student’s environment.

• Access & Advocacy: Use tactile sign language and hand-over-hand methodologies to facilitate expressive and receptive communication.
• Instructional Leadership: Deliver SAI tailored to the student’s IEP goals, ensuring no "dead time" in their educational development.
• Environmental Mapping: Help the student navigate and "map" their surroundings to foster independence and autonomy.
• Collaborative Success: Work directly with the District’s Due Process department to fulfill compensatory education requirements.

• Education: A valid California Education Specialist Instruction Credential (Visual Impairments, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, or Extensive Support Needs).
• Experience: Proven experience with tactile communication methodologies (Tactile Sign, Hand-under-Hand).
• Mindset: A compassionate, patient professional who understands the social-emotional challenges of dual sensory loss.
• Communication: Strong ability to document progress for compensatory education reporting.
