Please see the BACKGROUND INFORMATION on the Model, Protocol & Guidelines. The Road to Independence Model, with its Protocol & Guidelines, is developed in line with the UN-Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the SA Legislation, Codes and Guidelines. The Model contains information on human rights, legislation, networks for support, integration, accessibility, etc. The Protocol & Guidelines identifies the functional needs of the hearing impaired adult and the likely impact thereof on the individual. Concluding with practical examples on how the key role-players decide to reasonably accommodate the person in the workplace, as well as the broader society. This Model, Protocol and Guidelines has been developed in collaboration with experts in the field of audiology, hearing impairment, deafness, labour relations, the disability sector, etc.
