- Summary:
-
This study investigated the effectiveness of using an outdoor-adventure education program as a method of intervention for enhancing the self-concept of a group of hearing impaired individuals receiving services from the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. Nine adults (6 male, 3 female) with hearing impairments participated in a 4-day wilderness experience that included cross-country skiing, snow shelter construction, winter camping, a high ropes course, group initiative tasks, environmental awareness instruction, and a period of individual isolation. Pre- and post-test scores of the Culture-Free Self-Esteem Inventory for Adults were analyzed. Post-test scores were significantly higher than the pre-test scores. Conclusions about the impact of the experience are guarded due to the small number of subjects and the lack of a control group, but the benefits of an outdoor adventure program as an ancillary component to existing rehabilitation programs are noted.
