Educational Considerations: Supporting Children with Cochlear Implants in Mainstream Schools

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Pediatric Cochlear Implantation

Abstract

Despite positive trends in the literature associated with early implantation, we cannot assume that children with cochlear implants (CIs) learn just like their hearing peers, or even just like each other. Schools that include children with CIs must consider a range of factors that influence academic and social outcomes, and balance each child’s need for challenge and support. Considerations include parent education and emotional support, language and literacy development, social emotional learning, motor and sensory development, working memory and other cognitive skills, classroom acoustics and modifications, individualized support services, classroom supports, and other ecological inputs.
