  • 1.  LCP & Voc issues/person who is Deaf

    This message has been cross posted to the following Discussions: Forensic and Life Care Planning - IALCP .
    -------------------------------------------
    I would appreciate references related to completion of a Life Care Plan for someone who is Deaf.  Are there LCPers who specialize in working with cases related to this population?

    I am also interested in references and stats about employment possibilities.  I am not talking about Hard of Hearing issues, but Deafness since early childhood.

    Thanks,
    PattyC

    Patty -

         I may be able to help you with this.  My master's degree is in deafness rehabilitation counseling, and I'm currently the project director for a Rehabilitation Services Administration program to recruit and train vocational rehabilitation counselors who are qualified to work with people who are deaf or hard of hearing.  Let me know if you'd like to discuss this case offline.

         For a start, here is a reference to some useful information:
