Musselman, Carol; And Others

Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, v1 n1 p52-63 Win 1996

This study examined the social adjustment of deaf adolescents enrolled in segregated (n=39), partially integrated (n=15), and mainstreamed (n=17) settings. Partially integrated students reported better adjustment than mainstreamed students with deaf peers; mainstreamed students reported better adjustment than partially integrated students with hearing peers. Segregated students showed the lowest levels of adjustment overall. (DB)
