Using The Deaf Community As An Alternative Treatment Strategy: Developing Deaf Treatment Foster Homes, Stephen H. Hamerdinger, Daniel Murphy

JADARA

There are few treatment programs for deaf children who have severe emotional or behavioral disturbances. Most programs are residential in nature. While these programs provide a much needed service, they are not available to every child that needs treatment. Further, many children do better in smaller, family oriented environments than they do in residential treatment programs. Therapeutic foster care approaches are increasingly being used in many places as an alternative to residential treatment for hearing children.

Until recently, such programs have not been greatly utilized as an alternative to treatment for deaf children. When deaf children are placed in such …

When Deaf Parents Adopt Deaf Children: An Investigation Of The Concept Of Adoptive Parent Entitlement In Deaf Adopted Families, Barbara J. White

JADARA

The literature on Deaf people as parents in the past two decades is presented from both a culturally affirmative and a medical/pathological perspective (Jones, 1995; Lane, 1992, 1993; Meadow-Orlans, 1997; Spencer, Bodner-Johnson & Gutfreund, 1992), with the latter being more prevalent. It is rare to find an article that portrays Deaf people as highly competent and successful parents. It is even rarer to find an article that shows positive outcomes when Deaf parents adopt children (Shettle, 1997; White, 1997). The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of adoptive parenthood from the viewpoint of seven Deaf mothers …

Center For Independent Living Services For People Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing, Roy E. Miller

JADARA

This paper presents an overview of the Independent Living Movement and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as Amended, which mandated the creation of Centers for Independent Living (CILs). It then focuses on CDL services that are of particular benefit to persons who are deaf or hard of hearing using, the under-utilization of CILs by persons who are deaf or hard of hearing, and possible reasons for this situation are discussed.

Best Practice For Deaf And Hard-Of-Hearing Student Success In Postsecondary Education, Mark J. Myers, Elaine M. Taylor

JADARA

More deaf students graduated from college in the United States in 1987 than were enrolled altogether just 25 years ago (Walter 1989). Yet this number is only about 30% of those who attempt postsecondary studies. In light of this estimated 70% withdrawal rate, we must ask whether the special needs of deaf students are being met in a manner that provides them equal opportunity to succeed at the postsecondary level (Stinson and Walter, 1992, p 57).

Black Deaf Persons And Their Families: Ecological And Systems Perspectives, Elizabeth A. Creamer

JADARA

This paper presents both the ecological and systems perspectives for understanding and empowering Black Deaf persons in the context of their families and social systems. The term "Black Deaf Persons" can be referred to as African American Deaf persons or Black Deaf persons originally from America, Africa, Caribbean countries, or other countries. The learning objectives are to scrutinize and explicate both the ecological and systems framework for understanding the relationships that occur within Black families with Deaf members and among other social systems that are involved with Black Deaf persons, and planning and implementing creative interventions to adjust Black Deaf …
