TITLE: Education of the deaf in Utah: a comprehensive study
DATES: 1977.
ARRANGEMENT: None

DESCRIPTION: This publication was created by the Utah State Board of Education, Office of Administration and Institutional Services to discuss new ways to strengthen programs for the deaf in Utah and to address the gap between training at the Utah School for the Deaf and training for Utah's adult deaf--to encourage both groups to be mutually supportive and viable. The report includes summary and analysis of evaluative research on communication methods used in educating the deaf, a study of deaf children in Utah school districts, a sample of opinions of parents of older students at the Utah School for the Deaf, input from the professional staff, letters and materials received from national leaders and educators of the deaf; perceptions and recommendations from former students, professional interpreters of the deaf, and professional counselors of the deaf. The report also makes policy recommendations for the School for the Deaf.
