Historically, deaf and hard of hearing people have demonstrated
various levels of competence in a multitude of professions, but
they also have experienced discrimination and oppression. In five
critical sections, this volume responds to the tidal wave of
high-stakes testing that has come to dominate educational policy
and qualification for various occupations. It provides a digest of
relevant research to meet the testing challenge, including work
done by educational researchers, legal experts, test developers,
and others.
Section I frames the contexts facing deaf and hard of hearing
individuals and those who test them, including a telling historical
perspective. In Section II, chapters explore how deaf and hard of
hearing candidates can meet the rigors of test-taking, how to level
the playing field with a new approach to assessment, and what to
consider to develop fully accessible licensing tests. The final
chapter in this part examines the psychometric properties of
intellectual assessments when used with deaf and hard of hearing
people. Administrative Issues constitute Section III, beginning
with legal considerations related to equity testing for deaf
adults. An exploration of the potential of sign language
interpretation in the testing environment follows.
Section IV provides case studies of deaf and hard of hearing adults
from a variety of professions, including certification testing for
therapeutic recreation, preparation strategies for university
students, and ways to maximize access to licensure for social
workers. A separate chapter addresses the impact of recent federal
mandates on assessment of deaf and hard of hearing teachers and
teaching candidates. The finalsection summarizes the current
situation and presents recommendations to manage it, concluding
with an epilogue on directions for the future.
