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
discussed.'
