Overview
Together with PhD student Tim Byatt, Dr Jill Duncan provides an overview of social capital and the role that higher levels of social support can play in creating improved educational outcomes for deaf or hard of hearing students.
Improved opportunities for social participation by DHH adolescents need to include alternative methods to communicate, interact with others and access information.
Dr Duncan and Tim Byatt explore current research in the social capital area and outline some of the key evidence-based interventions that work to best support educational outcomes for DHH adolescents.
