Attitudinal Changes Of Employers To Hearing Impaired Workers After Utilizing An Asl/Awareness Videotape: A Pilot Study, Sandy Silver Oct 2019

Attitudinal Changes Of Employers To Hearing Impaired Workers After Utilizing An Asl/Awareness Videotape: A Pilot Study, Sandy Silver

JADARA

Potential employers and staff of deaf/hard of hearing employers were surveyed focusing on their attitudes, knowledge and anxiety towards the hearing impaired. An instructional videotape was developed and presented focusing on work related American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary and awareness issues. A pre- and post-test were administered to determine significant changes and perceived levels of comfort with regard to this population and employment. Results indicated that there was a significant improvement in attitudes after viewing the videotape. Additionally, there was a markedly positive indication regarding the hiring of hearing-impaired workers.


Techniques In Treating Survivors Of Child Sexual Abuse: Problematic Areas In Their Application To The Deaf Population, Daniel B. Swartz Oct 2019

Techniques In Treating Survivors Of Child Sexual Abuse: Problematic Areas In Their Application To The Deaf Population, Daniel B. Swartz

JADARA

Problems exist in identifying and treating deaf "survivors" of child sexual abuse. Even when they are identified, there are problems in effectively applying existing regimens of therapy to this special population. While main streaming the deaf person into society seems to be the wave of the future, and there are positive aspects to this, careful consideration, respect, and acknowledgement must be given to the special culture of the deaf person. Employing existing therapeutic methods, with only the adjustment of supplying an interpreter for the Deaf, may not be enough.


Providing Support Services For A Deaf-Blind Student In A Mainstream University Environment, Eugene A. Bourquin Oct 2019

Providing Support Services For A Deaf-Blind Student In A Mainstream University Environment, Eugene A. Bourquin

JADARA

Today, deaf-blind individuals can and do pursue higher education. A deaf-blind student presents unique challenges for the traditional support facility, even when they may have a history of service to deaf and/or blind students. Additional considerations are presented for an academic institution when coordinating services, using technologies, and addressing special needs for a deaf-blind student. By examining the experience of New York University with a deaf-blind student, related issues can be explored; coordination of dual services, early planning, and cross-departmental cooperation are necessary to succeed in providing the required support and allowing the student to fulfil educational requirements and goals. …

This paper describes an HIV risk assessment screening for deaf clients with severe mental ilnes at a large psychosocial rehabilitation agency in Chicago, IL. The agency has developed education, prevention, and ongoing support services to respond to the needs of this at-risk population. The results of an HIV risk assessment screening of 39 clients with this dual diagnosis are presented, detailing the numbers and characteristics of clients who report engaging in high risk sexual and drug use behaviors. Reported rates of sexual activity, number of partners, sexually transmitted disease history, intravenous and recreational drug use behaviors, and alcohol use are …

Acculturative Stress: A Useful Framework For Understanding The Experience Of Deaf Americans, Robert G. Brubaker Oct 2019

Acculturative Stress: A Useful Framework For Understanding The Experience Of Deaf Americans, Robert G. Brubaker

JADARA

Acculturative stress is a pattern of responses individuals may experience when they come into contact with a culture other than their own. This paper explores the possibility that Deaf Americans experience acculturative stress as a consequence of their contact with hearing people. The components of a theoretical model of acculturative stress are presented along with a review of relevant research. The potential utility of the model for generating research and developing interventions is discussed.

Deafened Adults: Adjusting To A New World, Stephen J. Larew Oct 2019

Deafened Adults: Adjusting To A New World, Stephen J. Larew

JADARA

The task of assisting deafened adults in adapting to the loss of receptive communication, as well as the resulting social, psychological, and employment changes presents many challenges to professionals in the field of deafness. People who became deaf after the age of 18 years have to make adjustments to offset their loss of receptive communication skills. The process of learning to accept and cope with hearing loss involves many adjustments by the deafened individuals and significant people in their lives. Rehabilitation professionals need to have an understanding of the adjustments being faced by deafened individuals and be prepared to provide …

Counseling With Deaf Clients: The Need For Culturally And Linguistically Sensitive Interventions, Paul Freedman Oct 2019

Counseling With Deaf Clients: The Need For Culturally And Linguistically Sensitive Interventions, Paul Freedman

JADARA

Many counselors and therapists who work with culturally Deaf clients have had the unfortunate experience of trying to use what they consider to be an appropriate intervention, only to see it elicit a response of silence and puzzlement from the client. At other times the clinician may become creative and use an intervention that seems to propel the session forward. Why is it that certain types of interventions tend to work better with Deaf clients? Why is it that some interventions seem inappropriate? Are there certain types of interventions that are best suited for use within a visual/gestural mode of …


Computerized Simulation Of Case Management With Deaf Clients: Tools For Instruction And Evaluation Of Information Gathering Strategies, Chris Reid, Fong Chan Oct 2019

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, …


Telecommunications Technologies Used By Employees Who Are Deaf, Diane L. Castle Oct 2019

Telecommunications Technologies Used By Employees Who Are Deaf, Diane L. Castle

JADARA

Employees who have a hearing loss can use much of the same technology for telephone communication that is available for other employees in the workplace, eg., computers, electronic mail, fax, pagers, and cellular phones. Combining special deafness- related devices, strategies or services with these new technologies may allow employees who are deaf or severely hard of hearing to demonstrate their efficiency and productivity. The various telecommunication technology used by eight employees are described. Appendixes provide a listing of telecommunication equipment, strategies, and services useful for employees with a hearing loss, and educational resources used to hearing co-workers.
