• Know the environment
• Be prepared
• Teach safety rules before going; in route and in the environment
• Prepare for communicational opportunities and emergency situations

Addressing IEP goals and objectives through CBIs.
Addressing generalization of skills through CBIs.
Addressing literacy goals through CBIs.

Community-Based Vocational Training
• “Career education provides the opportunity for individuals to learn, in the least restrictive environment possible, the academic, daily living, personal-social, and occupational knowledge and the specific vocational skills necessary for attaining their highest levels of economic, personal, and social fulfillment.” CEC 1997
• Research has suggested that a mismatch in communication modalities often significantly contributes to the failure of individuals with disabilities to maintain job security. (Hanely-Maxwell, Rusch, Chadsey-Rush, & Renzaglia, 1986; Light, Stoltz & McNaughton, 1996). Therefore it is important that people with hearing losses learn how to use alternative means of communication with communication partners who may not know sign language on the job site or in the community.
• Over the past fifteen years there has been an emphasis on getting students with significant disabilities into the community for training experiences that will develop greater independence as the students transition into adulthood (Education for all handicapped children act, 1975; Individuals with disabilities education act, 1990; Rehabilitation act amendments, 1992; Rehabilitation act, 1973; Sowers & Powers, 1991; Westling & Fox, 2000).
• The development of adequate communication skills is a major component of CBVT for these students. It is critical that the students develop skills for communicating with co-workers in order to gain greater acceptance, achievement and social interaction on the work site (Alberto, Elliot, Taber, Houser & Andrews, 1993).
How will our students communicate on jobs????
Sign Language?
Speech?
Communication Boards?
