The Adult Enrichment Center's Research Project for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Adults.
Lancaster City School District, PA.; Pennsylvania State Dept. of Education, Harrisburg.
Seventeen widely diverse students participated in the speech and hearing therapy program for a total of 420 hours. It was an individualized program utilizing Infra-Code equipment; the primary goal in 12 of the 17 cases was speech production. The remaining five had normal speech and requested auditory training. The bulk of the report consists of individual profile summaries. Also included are the results of audiometric examinations and the subjective evaluations of parents, caseworkers, and students. The audiometric examinations were judged inadequate by professional consultants whose evaluation is included in the document. Accompanying the individual profiles, separate sections detail program objectives, test procedures, and therapy sessions. Sample forms and materials are included in the appendix. It was concluded that the Infra-Code machine served as a type of auditory training device and that student motivation, teacher excellence, and the one-to-one relationship were major factors in the success of the project.
