Accommodations Patterns During Transition for Individuals Who Are D/deaf or Hard of Hearing

• In Event: Broadly Conceptualizing Inclusion and Accommodation: A Survey of the Field

Abstract

This proposal summarizes the results of a secondary data analysis of accommodations use by students who are d/Deaf or hard-of-hearing (SDHH) using the National Longitudinal Transition Study (NLTS2). We investigated the extent to which accommodations use patterns present in high school were static or different in later waves of this longitudinal study when individuals are in postsecondary education settings. Results are summarized and contextualized with respect to the language and communication characteristics of SDHH.
