Resources

This webcast presentation provides a general overview on how different hearing loss populations, including Deaf, hard of hearing, late-deafened, and the Deaf-Blind, adapt and respond to life challenges in our society. The audience will be introduced to different educational and rehabilitation practices, studies, programs, and/or publications since the early 1960’s. Current challenges in serving this population, primarily those who are considered to be “at-risk” or have multiple daily life issues that affect their ability to sustain independence, seek meaningful careers, or maintain stability in their jobs, will be discussed. Further, the presenter will address how we as parents, educators, rehabilitation service providers, and advocates can ensure that this population continues to be served effectively in spite of fewer resources and opportunities as a result of loss of funds at federal and state levels. Includes presenter materials.  (Broadcast date: August 10, 2011)
