In collaboration with the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC), this program provides evaluation services, referrals, and job support services to Deaf and Hard of Hearing adults in the following areas:
- Academic evaluations include testing reading comprehension,
quantitative abilities and general world knowledge. If appropriate,
clients are evaluated on their English language skills.
- Communication
evaluations test communication and linguistic abilities in American Sign Language
and English, both receptively and expressively, manually and non-manually.
- Vocational
evaluation consists of tests selected based on interests and skills. Some
examples are: Vocational Interest Test, General Learning Ability, Numerical Skills,
Clerical Skills, and Motor Coordination.
- Independent Living evaluation may be requested in conjunction with the Vocational evaluation in an effort to determine the client's self-supporting ability.
To request more information about Evaluation services, contact Karen Powers at 617-254-4041 TTY/Voice, or fill out our online form.
