Abstract | A survey of 160 hard of hearing Canadian youth found that educational access was their single highest priority. Supports used by youth in postsecondary education included personal Frequency Modulation (FM) systems, notetaking, oral interpreting, sign interpreting, and tutors. Four components of access to education are identified, with particular reference to the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada where 8 deaf and 11 hard of hearing students are enrolled. The four components include: (1) technical supports, such as electronic captioning; (2) communication strategies; (3) environmental considerations; and (4) support services. Appended to the paper are a summary of a report on interpreting and captioning services at UBC, an article reprint on UBC classroom acoustics, and a checklist of support services. (JDD) |
