In most English-speaking countries, increasing
numbers of children with significant hearing loss are
being educated in regular classes with the support of
itinerant teachers of the deaf, rather than in
segregated settings. The transition to higher
education and work is especially challenging for
these students. This book reports on an Australian
study investigating the career decision-making of
deaf and hard of hearing students in their last years
of high school. The study identified potential career
barriers as a key factor influencing the career
decision-making of these students, and clarified
understanding of the ways in which their social
participation and social self-concept interacted with
their career decision-making. Its findings suggested
that students with hearing loss in regular school
settings may be missing out on the specialized career
guidance they need to identify and address issues,
concerns, and potential career barriers and to
facilitate a successful school-to-work transition.
The book includes recommendations for career
education and counselling interventions to benefit
the career development and school-to-work transition
of this population.
