Rational-Emotive Therapy: A Cognitive-Behavioral Approach To Working With Hearing Impaired Clients, Deborah I. Gough

JADARA

This paper serves to present to deafness rehabilitation specialists the basic assumptions and process of Rational-Emotive Therapy. As a forerunner in the field of cognitive-behavioral therapy, RET provides a framework and specific interventions to meet a wide variety of client needs. A discussion of suggested techniques designed specifically for a portion of the deaf population is included. The flexibility of the RET approach in offering the options of both elegant and inelegant resolution of emotional disturbance enhances the usefulness of this theory with the diverse population of deaf clients.

Peer Counseling Programs For Hearing Impaired Persons, Michael Strong, Carol Day-Drummer

JADARA

Peer counselors and program directors from eight agencies in Northern and Southern California were interviewed in order to determine how their programs differed from other services for

hearing impaired persons, and how these programs compared with peer counseling programs in other settings. It was concluded that peer counselors provide a unique service by meeting a wide variety of needs in a supportive setting characterized by a shared background with the client. It was also apparent that the programs surveyed here had some features that were startlingly unlike peer counseling programs in other settings while in other ways they were similar. …

Principles Of Group Counseling And Their Applications For Deaf Clients, Margery Silberman Miller, Donald F. Moores

JADARA

According to a model developed by Cavanagh (1982), counseling may be perceived as a unique relationship by which the counselor helps others learn to relate to themselves and others in growth producing ways. The effective counselor fosters growth by creating an environment and a relationship that is significantly different from any presently experienced by the client or clients.

JADARA

In one year, five Case Managers provided a wide range of rehabilitation services directly to 133 multiply sensorially disabled clients (the target group) and indirectly to 212 other target clients. The Case Managers encouraged 70 agencies to become interested in, and in some cases to initiate services to, target clients. In addition to providing a considerable amount of direct services, the project staff laid the foundation for continuing improvement in target clients' welfare, by disseminating knowledge other service providers and encouraging them to raise their expectations of rehabilitation outcomes for the target group. Although long-term benefits cannot be assessed in …

Deafness Mental Health Needs Assessment: A Model, Peter C. Myers, Marita M. Danek

JADARA

The success of any new program often depends on an accurate needs assessment of the population to be served. Program planning is particularly difficult for low incidence disabilities, such as deafness. This paper presents a model to assist practitioners in community mental health program planning for deaf adults. The model is applied to a large metropolitan community in the southwestern part of the United States. Several issues emerge as a result of applying this model and we make recommendations for more effective mental health service provision based on these issues.

JADARA

Effective communication between vocational rehabilitation (VR) personnel and their clients is critical to the rehabilitation process. This paper stresses (a) the importance of VR personnel and clients sharing the opportunity and challenge for establishing effective communication, and (b) the importance of an integrated approach to sign communication skills assessment and development/learning opportunities for VR personnel. The Georgia and New York State VR programs for assessing and developing the sign communication skills of VR personnel are described, and an overview of the sign communication assessment instrument used by both programs, the Sign Communication Proficiency Interview (SCPI), is provided.
