My participants for my research are going to be a few different people. I need to question head of the deaf education department. I also would like to question one of my friends who goes to school at IUP and is deaf. Finally, if time permits, I would like to talk to other deaf ed majors, because one of my mains goals for the paper, is to find ways IUP can improve. I have specific people because there is specific information that I need to find out. I will only need to interview 4-5 people for the information that I want, and each interview will hopefully last 20-30 minutes. I do not see any potential danger in my particpants taking part in my survey. One problem may be that I will not be able to get all of the information that I would like from the deaf education department because of confidentiality issues, so I do not know what I am going to do if that comes up. At no point will I release names during the paper, if the participants do not want it done.
