Description

For young people who are deaf or hard of hearing, social capital can have a buffering effect against adverse life outcomes. This presentation will explain social capital, summarize research that Dr. Duncan co-investigated related to social capital of adolescents who are deaf or hard of hearing, and suggest instructional considerations for developing social capital.

During this session participants will:

Informally assess social capital characteristics of adolescents who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Differentiate barriers and facilitators of social capital of adolescents who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Plan an activity that will facilitate the development of social capital of an adolescent who is deaf or hard of hearing.
