This paper summarizes major results of a study of 808 providers of psychological services to hearing-impaired students enrolled in a variety of educational settings in the United States. These professionals are described in terms of their general demographic characteristics, salary, educational background and qualifications, communications skills, and the roles and functions they perform. Of particular importance to the analysis is the difference between individuals working full-time with hearing-impaired students and those working part-time or on a consulting basis.
