North Carolinians With Hearing
Problems Will Receive Hell)
RALEIGH-Thousands of
North Carolinians who are
either deaf or have severe
hearing problems will now be
receiving help from the state
with the many communica
tions problems they face each
day of their fives.
The 1977 Session of the
General Assembly recognized
the needs for the hearing
impaired and enacted legisla
tion that provided for the
establishment of the North
Carolina Council for the Hear
ing Impaired in the Depart
ment of Human Resources.
The legislation also appro
priated funds for the position
of state coordinator of Com
munity Services for the Hear
ing Impaired and the develop
ment of community service
centers to assist the hearing
impaired with their communi
cation problems.
Dr. Sarah T. Morrow, Secre
tary of the N.C. Department of
Human Resources, has desig
nated the Division of Voca
tional Rehabilitation Services
to administer this new pro
gram.
William Peace from Atlanta
has been employed as the
state coordinator for the pro
gram. He lost his hearing
when he was six years old and
has been actively involved
with various organizations of
and for the hearing impaired
for the past twenty years. He
has been serving as executive
secretary of the Georgia As
sociation of the Deaf and
president of the Registry of
Interpreters of the Deaf.
According to the national
census for the deaf which was
conducted in 1971, there are
approximately 350,000 persons
in North Carolina who have a
hearing problem. Of this num
ber, 45,124 are deaf.
"Hearing impaired citizens
need the same human services
and educational opportunities
that all people need. Unfortu
nately, even though these ser
vices are available to the
hearing impaired, they do not
always receive these services
from the human services a
gencies across the state due to
the difficulties encountered in
communication,'' said Dr
Morrow.
A hearing impairment of
ten results in severe deficien
cies in language and speech.
Not only are many hearing
impaired persons unable to
speak normally, but many are
unable to read and write well
enough to communicate effec
tively by pad and pencil.
"This means that there are
some hearing impaired people
in North Carolina who are
UNABLE TO SPEAK when
they have needs, UNABLE TO
HEAR about services to which
they may be entitled, UN
ABLE TO READ written mes
sages directing them to speci
fie sources οι assistance, and
UNABLE TO WRITE a simple
plea for these services," she
said.
Under this legislation, $65,
000 was appropriated for the
1977-78 fiscal year and $195,000
was appropriated for fiscal
year 1978-79. Other resources
will be identified at the local
and regional levels to provide
for supplemental services as
required.
Peace said' his immediate
plans are to set up a staff at
the state office level and to
obtain all the necessary infor
mation relative to the hearing
impaired population and their
