Abstract
1The statistical data cited in this section are rough estimates. More precise figures have not been ascertained. Exact figures are available for state residential schools, but they enroll only one half of deaf pupils. Furthermore, educational opportunities for deaf students are expanding. Post-secondary programs now number over 20. The 1972 Amendments to the Vocational Rehabilitation Act include a proposal to establish comprehensive regional training centers for deaf adults which would eventually enroll 2,000 students. 2Office of Demographic Studies, Academic Achievement Test Performance of Students in Schools and Classes for the Hearing Impaired: United States, Spring, 1969 (Washington, D.C.: Gallaudet College, 1969).
