Summary

This report discusses the needs of postsecondary education students who are deaf or hard of hearing and presents strategies for ensuring educational accessibility to campus services and programs. Part 1 considers general issues which characterize the process of student development in postsecondary education. It closes with the a brief discussion of strategies for fostering student development. Part 2 focuses on the full access and engagement of students who are deaf and hard of hearing in campus life, with general recommendations for communication and language access, barrier-free facilities, and programmatic initiates. These are applied to eight common campus life programs and services: college union facilities, housing, health services, recreational sports, judicial and campus safety programs, programs for students from diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds and international students, programs for commuter students, and accessing off-campus community resources. Recommendations include: (1) providing appropriate interpreting support and/or assistive listening systems; (2) installing appropriate visual alert fire alarms in all facilities that house student activities; (3) offering a special interest deaf and hard of hearing residence floor; (4) using universally agreed upon and stated visual signals in all competitive play; and (5) providing direct TTY access for on-campus emergency phone numbers.
