Cultural Awareness: Enhancing Counselor Understanding, Sensitivity, and Effectiveness with Clients Who Are Deaf
Peters, Scott W.
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v35 n3 p182 Jul 2007
During their professional career, counselors may encounter a client who is deaf; however, they may feel unprepared to work effectively with this population. Counselors who have an understanding of individuals who are deaf through their history, language, and other important considerations might be better prepared to work with this unique and underserved population.
