abstract: 'Effective self-advocacy skills have been shown to positively influence
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lifetime outcomes of d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) individuals. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
literature suggests that many DHH individuals may be underprepared to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effectively self-advocate in post-secondary settings due to a lack of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effective training and opportunity. Vocational rehabilitation counselors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(VRCs) who work with and serve DHH consumers are in a unique position to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
support their clients'' self-advocacy skill building, especially during
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the transition into the workforce and other post-secondary settings. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how VRC''s promote the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
self-advocacy knowledge and skills of their DHH consumers within
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
post-secondary employment and educational contexts. Additionally, this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
study explored how VRC''s facilitated self-advocacy opportunities for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their clients at broader systems-levels. Utilizing a grounded theory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
approach, data from semi-structured interviews with 10 VRCs working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
specifically with DHH clients was analyzed. Selective coding procedures
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
revealed sixteen thematic strategies used by VRCs at both the individual
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and systems level, including defining of necessary self-advocacy skills,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
linguistic skill building, provision of full communication access,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comprehension monitoring, both informal and formal self-advocacy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assessments, direct modeling of advocacy skill, self-advocacy skills
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
programming and counseling, an overall gauging of client `readiness to

|
|
|
|
|
|
advocate'', identification of advocacy opportunity at the system-level,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

and employer education. Implications and future directions are
