Deaf Iowa students study away and rarely return home
Deaf Iowa graduates from Gallaudet and NTID rarely work in Iowa, staying on the East Coast where deaf communities are larger. Curt Seiders cites limited local opportunities, with many grads entering education or social work. He notes growing local graduations from the Iowa School for the Deaf and mentions the upcoming Iowa Association for the Deaf convention in Amana.
