Intent Form - Apply for SKIHI and/or INSITE Training
Georgia PINES trains professionals annually to contract as parent advisors
for the program. SKI-HI parent advisors serving families of children with
hearing loss are degreed teachers of the hearing impaired, audiologists, and
speech/language pathologists. Parent advisors using the INSITE Model come
from a variety of backgrounds including teachers of the visually impaired,
orientation and mobility specialists, early childhood special education
teachers, teachers of the hearing impaired, and other related special
education fields. VIISA training is offered to parent advisors previously
trained in the INSITE Model who are currently serving families of children
with vision impairment only through Georgia PINES.
