Larry G. Stewart Award in Psychology and Deafness
In 1994, the Special Interest Section on Deafness of Division 22 of the American Psychological Association established an achievement award in honor of Dr. Larry G. Stewart, a good friend, esteemed colleague, and charter SISD member, who died in 1992.

Dr. Stewart made many distinguished contributions over many years to the fields of psychology, education, rehabilitation, and deafness. In his various roles as teacher, researcher, administrator, and clinical practitioner, all of which were influenced by his perspective as a deaf person, Dr. Stewart provided an enduring example of the highest standards of professionalism. This award is presented biennially to an individual who exemplifies these ideals and values, and whose professional contributions to research, theory, or practice are consistent with Dr. Stewart’s conviction that all people share a common psychology and humanity, whether theey are hearing, hard of hearing, or deaf.

The first award was presented in 1996 to Dr. I. King Jordan, President of Gallaudet University.

The 1998 award was presented to Dr. McCay Vernon, Professor Emeritus at Western Maryland College, and the 2000 award was presented to Dr. James C. MacDougall, the President of the Canadian Deafness Research and Training Institute.
