Storytelling And Leadership In The Deaf Community, Luane Davis Haggerty
Storytelling And Leadership In The Deaf Community, Luane Davis Haggerty
JADARA
This article addresses a gap in scholarship on leadership styles in the Deaf community.

In 1978, Congress passed the Rehabilitation, Comprehensive Services, and Developmental Disabilities Amendments (RL. 95-602). These amendments to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 authorized federal grants to states to fund interpreter training programs. Based on that legislation, in1980, the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) began funding regional and national interpreter training projects and has done so continuously to the present.

Mental Health Programs Serving Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Adults, Caroline J. Kendall, Virginia Gutman, Robert Rosenheck
JADARA
Few studieshaveinvestigatedmentalhealthservicesspecificallyservingdeafand hard of hearing people. This study summarizes data reported by 40 specialized mental health programs for deaf and hard of hearing adults in the United States between 2001-2003. Deaf programs within larger mental health organizations were significantly more likely to serve clients diagnosed with a psychotic disorder. These integrated service programs were less likely to serve clients who are Caucasian and those who pay for services using private insurance. Integrated programs serve clients with more serious psychiatric disorders. Further comparisons of medical records, service quality, and outcomes are needed.
