JADARA

Research and evaluation have been responsible for not only identifying revolutionary methods of study, but also contributing to progressive changes within these same methods.

We'll examine how the application Family Preservation/ Multisystemic Therapy (FP/MST) in an intensive home-based format could not only bridge significant shortfalls in service deliveries, but also potentially enhance opportunities for success for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing.

More importantly, this paper should result in a call for action to mobilize the deaf community, policy makers and federal program professionals toward the establishment of a …
