Abstract

In the present study, without any previous research done in this field in the country, our aim was to identify which linguistic, language socialization and language use factors decrease and increase the Deaf’s opportunities and economic activity at the labour market, as well as to show the close connection between language planning in the family and at school and the language of education, the methodological questions related to success at the labour market. The results of the survey confirm that the early (visual) language access and language socialization play a critical role in terms of later successfulness. Similar to our earlier research, this study has also revealed and proved in practice the questionable nature of successfulness of accessible education today, as the interpretation of questions and certain concepts has caused serious difficulties even for respondents with a matura examination or a higher qualification.
