Economics and Adults Identified as Low-Functioning Deaf
Individuals who read below second-grade level, achieve in school below fourth-grade level, or have secondary conditions in addition to deafness may be identified by state rehabilitation agency counselors or other professionals as having “low-functioning deafness” (LFD). There are an estimated 125,000 to 165,000 adults with LFD in the United States today. Most do not work, but they tend to be on federal and federal—state benefits programs, notably…
Transition for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Students: A Blueprint for Change
The large and growing number of deaf and hard-of-hearing adults who are "low-functioning deaf" (LFD), the unmet needs of many young people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and the continuing high rates of dropping out argue for a change in secondary programming for multiply disabled deaf and hard-of-hearing students and for others who are at risk of becoming LFD as adults. The LFD designation refers to youth and adults who read at very low levels…
Language Development in Deaf Children
As we near the tenth anniversary of the report of the Commission on Education of the Deaf (Bowe, 1988), I believe our foremost challenge is to accelerate language development among deaf children and youths.

In this article, I present my personal views, to whi…

Access to the Information Age: Fundamental Decisions in Telecommunications Policy
As federal and state budget sheets show more red than black ink, the private sector is delivering more social services and even protecting rights. The experience of disability rights leaders during the past five years shows that the private sector will accept such obligations as long as the burden is evenly distributed throughout an industry. They will balk if it is not. The task of ensuring access and fairness for people with disabilities in an …
Into the Private Sector: Rights and People with Disabilities
Until late 1988, American social policy proscribed discrimination against people with disabilities only in the public (government or government-assisted) sector of the economy. Title V of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act (PL 93-112), for example, regulated employment practices in federal agencies, federal contractors, and entities receiving federal financial assistance. The Americans with Disabilities Act (S.933 and H.R.2273, pending), however, reache…
