Geers, Ann E.
Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v33 n3 p172-83 Jul 2002
This study investigated factors contributing to auditory, speech, language, and reading outcomes in 136 children (ages 8-9) with prelingual deafness after 4-6 years of cochlear implants. While child and family characteristics accounted for 20% of outcome variance, the primary rehabilitative factor was educational emphasis on oral-aural communication. (Contains references.)
