honors thesis research project looking at the relationship between state of practice and attitudes toward raising Deaf/Hard of Hearing (D/HH) children as oral bilinguals. I am trying to find if there is some sort of correlation between the diversity index
of the state where a professional works and whether they support the idea of a D/HH child being raised an oral bilingual.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

be asked to answer a series of eligibility, demographic, and Likert-scale questions. Any licensed audiologist, audiologist assistant, speech language pathologist, speech language pathologist assistant, or teacher of the Deaf who practices in the U.S. and has
worked with D/HH children and/or their families is welcome to participate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
