Abstract

The research conducted by Marcoux and Meyer aimed to discover the state of educational audiology in Rhode Island. In the published research, many Deaf and Hard of Hearing students are not being served by educational audiologists in public schools. In 2016, there were 1,273 full-time Audiologists recorded in public schools in the United States (Johnson & Seaton, 2021). Our survey sent to Rhode Island special education directors attempted to identify the state of educational audiology offered in Rhode Island public schools. The data addresses the following research questions: who are the service providers for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in Rhode Island public schools, and what do Rhode Island special education directors know about educational audiologists.
