About This Product

The School to Work Transition Survey of Deaf Youth, 1986-1992 was administered by the Center for Assessment and Demographic Studies (CADS) at Gallaudet University, Washington, DC. The project examined factors in the transition of deaf youth from high school to the work place. The transition of deaf youth from high school to their postsecondary careers is a major concern of educators and rehabilitation professionals working with this segment of the population. The student sample was taken from the ongoing CADS Annual Survey of Deaf and Hard-of- Hearing Children and Youth. The student sample was limited to deaf students ages 16-22, with a hearing threshold greater than 70 dB in the better ear. The student sample was drawn from a national database containing demographic, audiological, and educational information, representing the majority of students in America with significant levels of hearing loss. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed in 1987 to deaf and hard-of-hearing students; parents of the students, and their high school counselors. The study also included three follow up Student and Parent surveys administered between 1988 and 1992, as well as results from the 1983 Stanford Achievement Test. The archived study includes 469 variables across 6,475 cases.
