Abstract

Fatigue in educational settings for students who are deaf or hard of hearing (d/hh) is poorly understood by both students and educators. Thus, our goal is to provide a means for d/hh students and their educational team to understand the impact of fatigue, to advocate for appropriate supports (strategies and programs) in order to moderate fatigue in educational contexts.

This poster presentation will discuss the first phase of this research program, designing the Fatigue in Educational Contexts (FEC) survey. The purpose of the survey is to accurately identify, describe, and interpret the presence and intensity of fatigue, and inform alleviation approaches.
