The purpose of this dissertation was to examine the employment outcomes for adult vocational rehabilitation clients with deaf-blindness. The researcher examined the relationships between case service provisions (any service provided during the entire client case, e.g., vocational guidance and counseling, job-placement assistance, rehabilitation technology) and competitive employment outcomes for individuals with deaf-blindness. The sample was obtained from Rehabilitation Services Administration Case Service Report (RSA911) data, and it included 135 cases of those with deaf-blindness identified as their primary or secondary disability whose case was closed during Fiscal Year 2016. The independent variables consisted of 14 vocational rehabilitation case service variables ((a) vocational rehabilitation counseling and guidance, (b) college or university training, (c) occupational or vocational training, (d) on-the-job training, (e) basic academic remedial or literacy training, (f) job-readiness training, (g) disability-related augmentative skills training, (h) miscellaneous training, (i) job-search assistance, (j) job-placement assistance, (k) transportation, (l) maintenance, (m) rehabilitation technology, and (n) reader services). The dependent variable was attainment of competitive employment. The results indicated that three vocational rehabilitation case service variables were found to be associated with clients with deaf-blindness obtaining competitive employment. Implications for improving employment outcomes for clients with deaf-blindness include supporting post-secondary educational attainment opportunities, providing job-placement services, and providing job search-related services. Implications for case services provided by vocational rehabilitation agencies are also discussed.

For more than a quarter of a century, Ildefonso, a Mexican Indian, lived in total isolation, set apart from the rest of the world. He wasn't a political prisoner or a social recluse, he was simply born deaf and had never been taught even the most basic language. Susan Schaller, then a twenty-four-year-old graduate student, encountered him in a class for the deaf where she had been sent as an interpreter and where he sat isolated, since he knew no sign language. She found him obviously intelligent and sharply observant but unable to communicate, and she felt compelled to bring him to a comprehension of words. The book vividly conveys the challenge, the frustrations, and the exhilaration of opening the mind of a congenitally deaf person to the concept of language. This second edition includes a new chapter and afterword.

Independence without Sight or Sound covers the essential aspects of communicating and working with deaf-blind adults--individuals who have both vision and hearing loss. Written in a personal and informal style, it is filled with practical information for any professional who works with someone who is deaf-blind, such as how to talk with someone who is deaf-blind, how deaf-blind people can communicate with strangers and interact with people in public, and how they can overcome isolation and assert control over their own life. Written by an expert in orientation and mobility, this guide emphasizes adapting orientation and mobility techniques for deaf-blind travelers.
