失聪或听力困难的学生通常需要住宿，以便参与大学生活的基本功能。尽管联邦法律规定学生可以参加校园活动，但这些学生真实的参加校园活动的机会因地点而异。本研究调查了得克萨斯州中学后教育机构的聋人或重听学生的入学水平。2006年秋季审查了这些学校的在线住宿政策。对已公布的政策进行了系统的回顾，以总结可用于教学，评估和校园生活的住宿和服务。157所学校中约有一半提供在线信息。课堂住宿的例子包括在课堂上记笔记和额外的时间进行测试。非学术服务包括社区资源和课程注册援助。结果进行了讨论的背景下，未来的学生可能需要作出明智的选择，中学后教育。
Students who are deaf or hard of hearing often require accommodations in order to participate in essential functions of college life. Although federal law mandates access to campus activities, real access for these students varies by site. The present study investigated the level of access of students who are deaf or hard of hearing at Texas postsecondary institutions. These schools’ online accommodations policies were reviewed in fall 2006. A systematic review of published policies was used to summarize accommodations and services available for instruction, assessment, and campus life. About half of the 157 schools provided information online. Examples of classroom accommodations included note takers during class lectures and extra time for tests. Nonacademic services included referrals to community resources and course registration assistance. Results are discussed in the context of information that prospective students may need to make informed choices regarding postsecondary education.
