title: Getting there. Update on recommendations by the Commission on Education of the Deaf.
abstract: Major progress on the recommendations of the Commission on Education of the Deaf was made by the Education of the Deaf Act Amendments of 1992 (PL 102-421); the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1992 (PL 102-569); and a U.S. Department of Education "Notice of Policy Guidance" clarifying its views on the commission's recommendations about elementary and secondary education. The changes, taken together, brought implementation of commission recommendations almost to closure. They also represented significant steps forward on behalf of deaf children, youth, and adults, setting the stage for further progress.
