In postsecondary education, there is a growing demand for specialized support services to address the unique needs of students who are deaf or hard of hearing. Costs for service delivery continue to increase as resources continue to diminish. Several states have developed model partnerships between agencies. Panelists from Oklahoma will present the problem they are encountering with the withdrawal of funding from Vocational Rehabilitation. Panelists from Kentucky and New Jersey will each present their model that has addressed this problem. They will also discuss their similarities and differences, what worked and what didn’t work, how to garner support within you institution and state, and how the political climate has influenced the outcomes in each state. Time will be allotted for questions and answers.
