Abstrakt: Abstract:Three studies are reported. The first two were conducted with students at NTID, a postsecondary program for the deaf. Eight percent of approximately 1,800 deaf students, all born before 1963, were identified as rubella. Few major differences were observed between rubella and nonrubella deaf students. The third study was conducted in 20 residential and day programs for the deaf. Results suggest that 6,000 or more "1963-65" rubella students are presently enrolled in such programs nationally at the junior and senior high school levels. Most will graduate between 1983 and 1985. Projections are given for the likely activities of these students following high school.
