Institutional supports and access inequities for deaf college students
Deaf college students frequently encounter postsecondary environments where access is delivered through accommodations rather than through structural inclusion. This study investigates how deaf students experience three validated dimensions of campus climate, accommodating learning environments (ALE), campus connectedness (CC), and deaf-affirming climate (DAC), using data from 193 students at broad-access U.S. institutions. Descriptive, inferenti…

Disparate impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on deaf college students
This study explores the experiences of deaf college students during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to examine institutional capacity to retain their most vulnerable students during this time of crisis. A secondary analysis of the National Center for Education Statistics dataset, the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, was conducted to explore deaf students’ experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic with communication from their college a…

Burnout among sign language interpreters working in postsecondary institutions
This study evaluated the prevalence of burnout among sign language interpreters in postsecondary settings in the United States. A standardized occupational burnout measure was used in a cross-sectional online survey and was distributed nationally. The findings revealed that 18 percent of interpreters reported experiencing burnout, with significant differences being observed across demographic groups. Specifically, a higher proportion of interpret…
The Self-Determination Inventory
Research literature and community narratives both emphasize the importance of self-determination in the lives of deaf youth. This paper describes the development, initial validation, and potential applications of a translated measure of self-determination for deaf youth, the SDI:SR ASL Translation (SDI:SR ASL). A sample of 3,309 young people who completed the SDI:SR, of whom 392 were deaf, was used in this validation study. Results provide prelim…
When You CAN See the Difference
Spoken and signed languages (SL) deliver perceptual cues which exhibit various degrees of perceptual validity during categorization: In spoken languages, listeners develop perceptual biases when integrating multiple acoustic dimensions during auditory categorization (Holt & Lotto, 2006). This leads us to expect differential perceptual validity for dynamic gestural units HANDSHAPE, MOVEMENT, ORIENTATION, and LOCATION produced by manual articulator…
Chinese Deaf viewers’ comprehension of sign language interpreting on television
Over 200 television channels in China broadcast news with signed language interpreting, making this one of the most visible forms of public accessibility for Deaf citizens. However, previous surveys have reported that most viewers have difficulty understanding the sign language interpreter. This experimental study examines how well a group of 49 Deaf individuals do, comparing their level of comprehension with that of twenty hearing viewers whose …
