Current Screening Procedures for the Usher Syndrome at Residential Schools for the Deaf. Graduate Project , National Leadership Training Program i n the Area of the Deaf, California State University, Northridge, 1981. The purpose of this study was to determine how many residential schools for the deaf are currently screening their students for the Usher Syndrome and how many of these schools offer support services to the identified Usher Syndrome student and his family. Forty schools responded. Res idential schools were chosen because they have large concentrations of high-risk individuals , the congenitally deaf. The results indicate that 53% of the schools that responded are screening students for the Usher Syndrome. Eighty-four percent of the identified students are older than twelve years old, Eighty-one percent of the students have a profound hearing l oss. One -half of the schools with screening programs offer some support services: personal counseling , genetic ccunseling, 9urricular modifications , and v ocational counseling.

The need for separate programing at the mid-high school state is supported, in order to draw together the career related strands which have been previously infused into the total curriculum. The development of such an intensive separate summer program is described, and its emphasis on decision making in elements of self-awareness, career awareness, eci cational awareness, and economic awareness are discussed. Appended m, rials include a list of the program's advisory board and development team members, information from a survey completed by schools for the deaf of new career education materials, and an annotated bibliography of career education materials and resources for use with hearing impaired students.

    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Clarke School for the Deaf Records 1866-2009 approximately 133 boxes (ca. 199 linear ft.) Call no.: MS 742 Collection overview With a $50,000 grant from the philanthropist John Clarke, Gardiner Green Hubbard founded the Clarke Institution for Deaf Mutes in 1867, a school predicated on the importance of acquiring oral skills for children with hearing loss. Opened in Northampton, Mass., under the direction of Harriet B. Rogers, Clarke differed philosophically from schools such as the American School for the Deaf where sign language was used for instruction, stressing speech-reading and speech as the primary methods of communication. With notable supporters such as Alexander Graham Bell, Clarence W. Barron, and Calvin Coolidge and his wife Grace (a former teacher), the school became a pioneer in training teachers in auditory and oral methods and in recognizing the importance of early intervention and mainstreaming children into neighborhood schools. Working in partnership with Smith College, Clarke began offering a master’s degree in Education of the Deaf in 1962. Known as the Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech since 2010, the school has opened additional campuses in Boston (1995), Jacksonville (1996), New York (1999), and Philadelphia (2001). The records of the Clarke School offer rich documentation of the history of oral deaf education in the United States and insight into the experience of deafness in America. The collection includes extensive correspondence of school administrators and teachers, organizational materials, records of the school’s programs, and an essentially complete run of the school’s annual reports and other publications.

Data were gathered on the number of bearing impaired students with additional handicapping conditions, the types of conditions reported, the severity of the conditions, the profession of the person who evaluated the conditions, whether or not the student was receiving medication, ethnic origin, and degree of hearing loss. The data indicated that 32 percent of the students had one or more additional handicapping conditions, that a greater proportion of males had additional handicapping conditions, that students with hearing threshold levels below 65 decibels were slightly more likely to have additional handicaps, that students whose bearing loss was present at birth were Aare likely to have additional handicaps, and that most frequently reported types of additional handicapping conditions were emotional or behavioral problems, mental retardation, and visual disorders.
