520 |a This book is based on an international, mixed methods research project that conducted interviews with 25 deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) faculty members from mainstream universities and 19 university students who took classes taught by DHH faculty members and collected surveys from 57 DHH faculty members and 104 university students worldwide. The author reports on their experiences of accessibility at their institutions and makes recommendations based on the findings. The book will serve as a user guide or supplemental text for DHH faculty members, researchers, students, and academic interpreters, as well as university administrators and disability service directors who are looking to improve disability provision at their institutions.
