Describe the challenge faced by students with hearing impairment with respect to postsecondary education and employment

What will be an ideal response?


Unemployment and underemployment are persistent problems, but expansion of postsecondary programming is improving the situation. Accommodations are at the heart of the problem and the solution. Employers often don't know what kinds of accommodations to provide, and people who are hard of hearing or deaf often don't know what to ask for. An accommodation that makes attending traditional colleges and universities more viable is the provision of sign language interpreters. A challenge with this situation is the use of transliteration (similar to signed English) rather than ASL. Interpreters find it more difficult to use ASL
