The Long-Term AAA Impact of EI and Preschool: Academics, Aspirations, and Achievements
The Moog Center for Deaf Education has recently completed data collection on a two-year study of 159 Moog Center alumni, ranging in age from 8 to 32 years. At a well-attended session last year, results of the on-site testing of vocabulary, language, reading and cognitive skills of the 50 elementary school alumni, ages 8 through 13 years, were reported. This presentation will report achievements of 109 alumni, ages 14 to 32 years, of which 44 were in high school and 65 were of post-secondary age. These alumni completed an online survey that was developed to assess educational, personal, and professional outcomes. Survey responses included information about their lives in high school and post-secondary education, varying success in communicating in different situations, the impact of technology on their lives, employment experiences, special recognition they received, something they had never done and hoped to do someday, and more. Since this presentation will describe a large population of individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and various aspects of their lives, it will be of special interest to new parents of children with hearing loss and EHDI providers. When parents first find out their child has a hearing loss, they are concerned about their child’s future; e.g. Will my baby have friends? Be involved in sports? Go to college? Get a job? Get married? EHDI service providers are often the first points of contact for new parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing so parents look to them to answer these kinds of questions. Results of this study demonstrate what is possible for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- 1. After this session, participants will be able to list the types of high school and post-secondary activities in which these subjects have participated, as well as types of employment in which they have been engaged.
- 2. After this session, participants will be able to describe how subjects in this study describe themselves regarding their communication and their perspective on socialization during high school and/or college.
- 3. After this session, participants will be able to describe how technology has had an impact on the lives of these individuals for support in school and communicating through social media as well as improving their access to sound.
