Living with a disability offers inordinate cognitive and social challenges. A person with a disability that is maximizing their social and professional opportunities therefore offers a unique understanding of human potential. This chapter proposes that a deaf individual’s mastery and execution of disability-specific tactic knowledge is essential for their mental health, and their social and professional participation. Tactic knowledge defines the cognitions that an individual uses to perform practical everyday tasks to maximize their social or professional outcomes (Sternberg, 1985; Sternberg & Wagner, 1986). Disabilityspecific tactic knowledge is the individual’s use of specialized proactive cognitive and social (psychosocial) strategies to identify, circumvent, or master disability-related psychological, social, or professional challenges (Jacobs, 2010). Disability-specific tactic knowledge is also speculated to be absent in individuals without disabilities. They have no need to acquire, nor require the use of, such an esoteric psychosocial skill set (Jacobs, 2010). As such, it appears that deaf individuals need to master two sets of tactic knowledge to maximize their potential.
