This project examined the effects of several factors believed to influence deaf students’ learning in STEM classrooms. Three primary areas were addressed: interpreters’ familiarity with and ability to interpret complex STEM course content, the optimal mode for the communication of course content in the classroom, and the relations among student language skills/preferences, instructor characteristics, and student success in STEM classrooms.
