Abstract
During the period between September I, 1976 and August 31, 1978, 197 clients of the Hearing-impaired Project of the Dallas Vocational Rehabilitation Area had their cases closed either successfully (status 26), or unsuccessfully (statuses 28 and 30). This study examined the case records of all 197 clients in an attempt to discover the variables predictive of rehabilitation success and failure. The statistical procedures of the Pearson Product-moment Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis were used. Thirty-six predictor variables were grouped into the six subsets of personal characteristics, employment related factors, hearing-impaired background, rehabilitation background, rehabilitation services provided during the current case, and costs of the current case. The results of this analysis together with conclusions and recommendations are presented in this article.
