Multihandicapped Deaf Students in Postsecondary Programs: Guidelines for Planning Services

The numbers of rubella students who are multihandicapped coupled with the high incidence of additional handicaps among other deaf students forces attention on the responsibility of postsecondary institutions serving deaf students to plan services for more of these students. Services should be planned for three groups of multihandicapped deaf students: those needing independent living skills, those seeking direct occupational preparation, and those seeking and able to profit from an academic program. Seven guidelines are suggested for program planning and delivery.
