Abstract
School-based speech, language, and hearing professionals are instrumental in the provision of rehabilitative, consultative, and support services for children with cochlear implants. This article reviews current candidacy requirements as well as factors that are considered when a child is evaluated for a cochlear implant. Following implantation, school professionals play a pivotal role in providing an appropriate educational program that should include auditory training and the integration of listening into the child’s daily routine. The article presents procedures for maintaining and troubleshooting the device, and suggestions for establishing routines for device use and for improving the listening environment for children in classrooms.
