Question 2

Correct Answer:

Verified

Unemployment and underemployment are persistent problems, but expansion of postsecondary programming is improving the situation. Accommodations are at the heart of the problem and the solution. Employers often don't know what kinds of accommodations to provide, and people who are hard of hearing or deaf often don't know what to ask for. An accommodation that makes attending traditional colleges and universities more viable is the provision of sign language interpreters. A challenge with this situation is the use of transliteration (similar to signed English)rather than ASL. Interpreters find it more difficult to use ASL (they have to digest the meaning of what is said before they sign it), but research has shown it is more effective than transliteration. Instructors need to understand how to interact and work with the interpreter.
