Closing the Gap: Fostering a Smooth Transition toward Independent Living for the Hearing Impaired Student Entering the Postsecondary Setting
Keyword(s):
Students entering post-secondary institutions without the mastery of Independent living skills are prone to failure and thus, develop an inability to complete their freshman year. Students with disabilities, in particular hearing loss, are more prone to failure due to their social isolation. The author presents an argument for specific training in the area of life skills and proposes a three-component focus for that training: (a) accessing and utilizing support services, (b) mastering and incorporating daily living skills, and (c) developing and enhancing negotiating skills.
