Abstract

Speech, language, and other cognitive outcomes for children who are deaf and use cochlear implants (CIs) can vary due to a number of factors. Understanding and predicting this variability are critically important to families, clinicians, educators, and researchers. Such information can help to establish expectations and contribute to providing effective interventions and educational resources.
