1970-1975 Follow-Up of Hearing Impaired Graduates of Pennsylvania.
Powers, Gerry; Lewis, Jim
A followup study of 167 hearing impaired graduates from Pennsylvania educational institutions from 1970-1975 was conducted. Four instruments--a student questionnaire, an educational history form, a parent followup survey, and an employer survey were used to gather data. Among results were that the jobs held by deaf Ss did not require the use of any specific communication; employers felt the most appropriate types of jobs for Ss was any position with limitations; 83% of the Ss were single; 87% had a driver's license; 68% did not have a fulltime job lined up before they graduated; 66% were satisfied with their high school training for their present job; approximately one-third of the parents indicated they had received no counseling; and the majority of parents felt their child's job training was inadequate.
