Applications Of Gestalt Therapy In Deafness Rehabilitation Counseling, David B. Peterson, Debra L. Gough Oct 2019

Applications Of Gestalt Therapy In Deafness Rehabilitation Counseling, David B. Peterson, Debra L. Gough

JADARA

Techniques used in Gestalt therapy can be applied to working with clients who are deaf in a rehabilitation counseling setting. Gestalt therapy focuses on the whole person, encouraging the assessment of both assets and liabilities. Such a focus avoids the emphasis of disability exclusively. This approach teaches awareness, utilizing the client-therapist relationship and dialogue as tools in the counseling process. The importance of dialogue in the process is emphasized to maximize client involvement. The theory is phenomenological and emphasizes individuality, a focus that discourages the drawing of stereotypes regarding people who are deaf. Acknowledged is the need for individual consideration …

Job Coaching: A Means To Reduce Unemployment And Underemployment In The Deaf Community, Pamela J. Belknap, Kimberly A. Korwin, Nancy M. Long

Historically, vocational rehabilitation approaches to assisting deaf people to succeed in employment have been lacking. This contributes to unemployment and underemployment among the deaf community. This article discusses barriers to employment experienced by deaf people, the traditional role of vocational rehabilitation services, and service gaps related to job retention and advancement. A model for the provision of job coach services is provided that calls for the coach to be a member of a team providing routine ongoing services. Current and future efforts to develop coach training opportunities are described as well.

Computerized Simulation Of Case Management With Deaf Clients: Tools For Instruction And Evaluation Of Information Gathering Strategies, Chris Reid, Fong Chan

JADARA

Many counselors and case managers working with individuals who are deaf have incomplete knowledge about the complex factors that affect case management, learning primarily through trail-and-error what information is really necessary to develop effective rehabilitation plans. Computer-based training using simulations of cases involving management of deaf individuals allows trainees to try out various strategies and receive expert feedback about “best practices” for the simulated cases without harming actual clients. A brief description of simulations currently utilized in rehabilitation training is presented, the development of a deafness-specific case is described and current training applications using that simulation are discussed. The development, …
