Certain areas of physical disability lend themselves to the establishment of an emphathetic bond more readily than others. They may possess more visible appeal; more poignant manifestations. There is greater emotional incentive to arouse popular interest and sharpen understanding. Occasionally, in fact, such areas are overburdened with too much emotional responsiveness on the part of both the public as well as the beginning worker.There are other areas, however, in which exactly the opposite situation prevails. These concern the 'invisible' disabilities whose impairments offer little if any outward evidence of their existence and few clues as to their possible effects. The present discussion is centered about a population suffering one such disability: the Deaf.
