Assessment Of Deaf And Hard-Of-Hearing Persons: A Strengths Based Transactional Deafness Paradigm, Martha Sheridan Oct 2019

Assessment Of Deaf And Hard-Of-Hearing Persons: A Strengths Based Transactional Deafness Paradigm, Martha Sheridan

JADARA

This article discusses the existence of a cultural and professional obsession with pathology which has jaded mental health assessments of consumers. The importance of incorporating ecological and strengths perspectives into the assessment process is discussed. It is suggested that individual and environmental strengths need to be taken into consideration for a more positive, respectful and empowering shift in assessment paradigms to occur. Deaf knowledgeable mental health professionals have an ethical obligation to consider the strengths and meanings of various d/Deaf, hard-of-hearing and late deafened realities as well as the individual's ancestral, cultural, spiritual and gender realities. A strengths based transactional …

Work Experience Of People Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing In Hong Kong, Petrus Ng Oct 2019

Work Experience Of People Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing In Hong Kong, Petrus Ng

JADARA

Helping members of the deaf culture to engage in gainful work is an important means of their integration into the community. However, members of the deaf culture are often received simply as those with impaired hearing, and they experience difficulties in obtaining and keeping work. Cross-cultural and communication conflict is a major factor affecting their employment opportunities. Audism, the social prejudgement of the capacities of members of the deaf culture, is part of this conflict. These factors restrict their social and vocational opportunities. The aim of this study is to assess the employment situation of members of the deaf community …

Essays By Deaf Youth: Implications For Counselors And Teachers, David S. Martin, William P. Mccrone, Patricia Martin

JADARA

For several years, Gallaudet University's School of Education and Human Services and Pre-College National Mission Programs (now Clerc Center) have co-sponsored an annual national essay contest for deaf and hard of hearing students in schools across the United States. In 1998, an unusually high number of essays -235- were received for review. During the process of serving as members of the judges’ panel for this national contest, the co-authors noted potentially important trends and patterns across the corpus of essays.

Preferences Of Deaf College Students For The Hearing Status Of Their Children, Margery S. Miller, Donald F. Moores, Deborah Sicoli

JADARA

The anticipated results of genetic research and the implications for genetic engineering have the potential to reduce the incidence of conditions such as cancer, but questions have been raised about the ethics of proceeding to conditions such as blindness, deafness or color-blindness. One area that has not been addressed is the preferences of deaf individuals for the hearing status of their children. The present study investigated the preference of deaf college students for the hearing status of children they might have in the future. The results indicated that the majority of respondents expressed no preference for hearing status of children. …

JADARA

This paper addresses questions about the early career attainments and attitudes of a sample of 325 deaf and hard of hearing workers with postsecondary training and education. The overall goal is to identify the strategies that create job change and career advancement opportunities for deaf and hard of hearing workers. Specific questions addressed include: "what kinds of jobs do these alumni have and what are their earnings?" "What are their attitudes about their jobs?" "How long have they worked on these jobs and have they been promoted? "Overall, descriptive information bearing on these and similar questions suggest that postsecondary training …

Eighty-three percent said that their major courses had been very helpful. Over 60 percent indicated that they would choose the same major again. Implications for further …


An Attributional Analysis Of Aggression Among Children Who Are Deaf, Tamera Burton Murdock, Ronald L. Lybarger Oct 2019

An Attributional Analysis Of Aggression Among Children Who Are Deaf, Tamera Burton Murdock, Ronald L. Lybarger

JADARA

This exploratory study applied attribution theory to explain aggressive behaviors using a sample of thirty children who are deaf, ages 9-12. Students were shown four hypothetical scenarios of a child causing another child minor harm, such as bumping into him or her in the hall. The intention of the provocateur was ambiguous. Participants were instructed to pretend they were the child who had been harmed. Subsequently, they were questioned about the provocateur's intentions, their own emotional responses, and their likely behavioral response. Consistent with our predictions, many children demonstrated hostile (i.e., hostile) attributional biases. Moreover, the results support the cognition, …

Accommodations In The Workplace For People Who Are Hard Of Hearing: Perceptions Of Employees, Dayl Scherich, Randolph L. Mowry Oct 2019

Accommodations In The Workplace For People Who Are Hard Of Hearing: Perceptions Of Employees, Dayl Scherich, Randolph L. Mowry

JADARA

This report describes survey results which highlight current practices in the provision of workplace accommodations for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing. Results show that situations considered the most difficult for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing are group or multi-speaker situations. However, the majority of accommodations requested and in use are more appropriate for one-on-one situations. Because respondents identified a limited number of accommodations in use in the workplace, it is felt that perhaps employers' and workers' lack knowledge about appropriate accommodation options. The following are recommended to facilitate workplace accommodations of employees who are …


Evaluating Alcohol And Other Drug Use Problems With Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Persons, Debra Guthmann, Kathy Sandberg Oct 2019

Evaluating Alcohol And Other Drug Use Problems With Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Persons, Debra Guthmann, Kathy Sandberg

JADARA

Professionals who provide services to Deaf and hard of hearing individuals may encounter situations that could be related to the person's use of alcohol and/or other drugs. Accessing an agency that can provide an appropriate chemical dependency assessment for a Deaf or hard of hearing person is difficult since there are no formalized assessment tools normed or specifically designed to use with Deaf and hard of hearing individuals. Additionally, most assessors are unfamiliar with how to work with Deaf and hard of hearing people, less likely to be fluent in American Sign Language and unaware of appropriate treatment options. The …


Issues Associated With Late Onset Deafness, Margery A. Rothschild, Charlene M. Kampfe Oct 2019

Issues Associated With Late Onset Deafness, Margery A. Rothschild, Charlene M. Kampfe

JADARA

Late deafened adults are individuals who have acquired a severe or profound hearing loss in adulthood. They comprise the largest proportion of the deaf population, yet little information is available about their condition and its influence on them. The current article will discuss problems experienced by late deafened adults, psychosocial aspects associated with late hearing loss, and suggestions that might assist professionals in working with these individuals. In addition to a literature review, personal accounts of the first author will be provided.

Access For Deaf And Hard-Of-Hearing People In The Public Domain: Where Are We?, Angela Doden, Jodie Redelsperger, Greg Long Oct 2019

Access For Deaf And Hard-Of-Hearing People In The Public Domain: Where Are We?, Angela Doden, Jodie Redelsperger, Greg Long

JADARA

The enactment of disability-related legislation does not, unfortunately, guarantee compliance. This is particularly problematic for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. These individuals are most often handicapped not by their disability but rather by the unavailability of appropriate accommodations and technology. To address the impact of accommodations within the public domain two studies were conducted. The first study investigated telecommunication accessibility across government, emergency and private business numbers. Results indicated that these entities failed to answer their TTY calls almost 60% of the time. The second study assessed the availability of assistive technology for deaf and hard-of-hearing hotel …


Improving Retention For Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Students: What The Research Tells Us, Michael Stinson Oct 2019

Improving Retention For Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Students: What The Research Tells Us, Michael Stinson

JADARA

This paper uses the model of college persistence developed by Tinto (1975y 1987) to describe three factors which are important for improving the chances that a deaf or hard of hearing person will attain a college degree. Academic integration, commitment to college, and social interaction must all be considered when designing programs to support deaf students at the college level. Findings from research conducted at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf as well as evidence from research conducted elsewhere, provided strong support for the Tinto model when applied to deaf college students. In addition to testing this theory of …

Employment Trends For Occupations Requiring No More Than A High School Diploma Or Ged: 1992 And 2005, Paul Geyer, John Schroedel

JADARA

This article, the third in a series on employment trends, focuses on occupations requiring no postsecondary training. The first article (Geyer & Schroedel, 1995) concentrated on occupations requiring a Bachelor's degree or higher, and the second article (Schroedel & Geyer, 1996) focused on occupations needing some postsecondary training, usually for one- or two-year college degrees. The next article will report on occupations requiring significant on-the-job training.


A National Screening Survey Of Community-Based Programs That Serve Persons Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing, Dayl Scherich Oct 2019

A National Screening Survey Of Community-Based Programs That Serve Persons Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing, Dayl Scherich

JADARA

A project was developed to begin to identify community-based programs nationwide for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing, their goals and objectives, and the future needs of these programs. This is a report on part one of that project. Using a list building technique, 1481 programs were initially identified as possibly providing community-based services to persons who were deaf or hard of hearing. Of those programs contacted nationally, 848 community-based programs or agencies indicated that they served persons who are deaf or hard of hearing. Information obtained from responding programs included: general types of services provided, populations served, …
