I have been investigating the roles of a variety of professionals who work with Deaf or Hard of Hearing students or adults, such as School Psychologists, Rehab Counselors for the Deaf, and Case Managers.  This involved doing interviews and independent research.  I plan to pursue a Master’s Degree and this investigation has helped me to understand more about what these professionals do on a daily basis, what skills and education are needed for these positions, and the challenges they face as well as the accomplishments they celebrate.
