A study of vocational abilities of students who have attended the Illinois School for the Deaf

Abstract

The results of a questionnaire study show that only 8% of boys follow the trade for which they were trained in the school for the deaf. Suggestions are made for aptitude testing, extension and modification of training, establishment of employment bureaus, and the utilization of field workers in finding more vocational opportunities. 66% of the boys and 36% of the girls are regularly employed.
