Preliminary findings are provided from data collected in Puerto Rico through the Annual Survey of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children and Youth during the 1997-1998 school year. Data on 336 students with hearing impairments find the existence of a heterogeneous deaf community rather than the traditionally conceived homogenous community. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
