Find the answers to your questions on cochlear implantation in infants and young children. For children born with severe to profound hearing loss who are candidates for cochlear implants, research has shown that one of the most important determinants of outcome is age of the child at the time of the surgery. Children who receive a cochlear implant at 9 months of age, have a better opportunity for reaching typical language development milestones by the time they enter school.

Listening Language Literacy

The Language Nutrition concept applies to language learning for all children but is even more critical for deaf and hard of hearing children. The task force exploration led them to public and private school educators in Georgia who have initiated an effort to encourage parents to use the language of the home to talk, interact, read, and engage with their children.
The Listening - Language - Literacy initiative resulted in the development of an infographic designed to be widely used in supporting families of children who are deaf and hard of hearing and the professionals who serve them.
