The program was originally aired as part of the “Audiology 2012: Success for Students With Hearing Loss” online conference (October 17–29, 2012).

Success in the "real world" and being an effective self-advocate are key outcomes of transition planning; however, teens and young adults who are deaf or hard of hearing may have difficulty with self-advocacy and success because of communication barriers. In this presentation, we'll explore tools and activities that will help a student with hearing loss plan for employment, education, and independent living following graduation, thus becoming a stronger self-advocate.
