Abstract
Cochlear implants (CIs) are a common habilitation option for children with profound hearing loss. CI technology has resulted in significant changes in approaches to communication and education for children who are deaf. This chapter will focus on the influence of communication mode and educational settings for children with CIs. Successful speech and language outcomes for children with cochlear implants are highly dependent on a number of factors besides communication mode, including amount of residual hearing, age at implantation, amount of daily cochlear implant use, and parents’ goals for communication and overall development. Future research should address the issue of using sign language during the initial stages of language learning, and its effects on later language, reading, and psychosocial development.
