This study examined the vocational education programs at residential schools for the deaf to find out what adjustments they have made to help high school students prepare for future employment, as well as to assess the status and some of the trends affecting the programs from 1980 through 1987. This study also attempted to determine what schools plan for the next five years (1988 through 1992). Additionally, the study looked at residential schools' student populations to assess the extent of mainstreaming of deaf residential school students into public schools and the reverse mainstreaming of hearing students into residential schools. Finally, the study attempted to identify what actions, if any, residential schools are undertaking in their vocational programs to meet changing enrollment patterns and other education trends in employment and technology.
