A Priority Lexicon For Hearing-Impaired Children: Staff Perceptions, Mary Evelyn Moore, Lanny E. Morreau, Judith R. Johnston

JADARA

The purpose of this study was to identify the priorities assigned to lexical items by staff members who work with hearing impaired children and to characterize those selections. Seventy-three staff members rated individual vocabulary items from two lists previously developed from staff working with hearing- impaired children to create a "priority-lexicon." The resulting lexicon was then compared to developmental data from two studies of children having no impairments to determine if a lexicon based on perceived need was consistent with patterns of normal language acquisition.

Use Of Raven’S And Naglieri’S Nonverbal Matrix Texts, Jack A. Naglieri, Jane A. Welch

JADARA

This study examined the differences between the Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices scores obtained using the European (Raven, Court & Raven,1977) and U.S.(Raven,1986) nonnative samples and the Matrix Analogies Test-Expanded Form (MAT-EF) (Naglieri, 1985b). The sample of 34 hearing-impaired students (26 males and 8 females) with a mean age of 13 years 7 months (SD of 2 years, 2 months) attended a state residential school for the deaf. Raven's and Naglieri's matrices tests were administered in counterbalanced order in one session. Results indicated that the sample earned similar mean scores on the Raven's U.S. norms and Naglieri's MAT-EF, but both these …

The Establishment Of A Deaf Employment Task Force In A Major Corporation, Paul J. Berkay

JADARA

The purpose of this article was to propose a model based on a case study of a Deaf Employment Task Force established in a Fortune 500 corporation. The Task Force was composed of representatives from departments that impacted successful deaf employment. Although progress was slow, major accomplishments were realized. Invalid vocational testing was discontinued for all deaf assembly job applicants. Deaf awareness workshops were administered to supervisors and co-workers of deaf employees on a company- wide basis. Setbacks also occurred. Attendance at meetings was unstable, and the Task Force failed to obtain support from top-level management. Based on this experience, …

The Economic Impact Of Deafness, William A. Welsh

JADARA

The purpose of this paper was to determine the economic impact of deafness over a 40-year work life. Information provided by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service made it possible to estimate the lifetime earnings of 4,398 deaf adults who had a wide variety of educational backgrounds. Data on the U.S. population as a whole (matched on age and education), extracted from U.S. Bureau of the Census publications, were used for purposes of comparison. Results indicate that the economic cost of deafness is great. Over the course of a lifetime deaf people earn between $356,000 and $609,000 less than their comparably …

Short Term Memory Abilities Of Skilled Signers, Dick Vallandingham

JADARA

The principal purpose of this study was to investigate the short term auditory storage and retrieval abilities of skilled interpreters for the deaf.

It was assumed that the task of interpreting spoken English to ASL involved short term auditory storage, the efficacy of which was related to chunking abilities of the listener.

Three groups often subjects each made up the sample population. Group A was composed of individuals with interest in but limited knowledge of sign language. Group B was composed of individuals with no knowledge of sign language. Group C was composed of individuals holding the Comprehensive Skills Certificate …
