Nicholas, Johanna G.; Geers, Ann E. – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2008
Purpose: The major purpose of this study was to provide information about expected spoken language skills of preschool-age children who are deaf and who use a cochlear implant. A goal was to provide "benchmarks" against which those skills could be compared, for a given age at implantation. We also examined whether parent-completed…
