Keeping this in mind creates your road map!

Language levels may be age appropriate due to early programming and therapy
Scores may indicate that the student doesn’t “qualify” for special education services since a discrepancy is not present

We need to use a prevention and surveillance model rather than a failure model to manage this generation of children with hearing loss. Beware of being seduced by how much these children seem to know at a young age.
They still need enrichment!
Carol Flexer, 2010
Think of what the student is doing with the information that they have
Social skills – are they accurately interpreting situations with peers?
Applying information- they can spell, they understand grammar- what happens when they put it into writing?
Standards Things to consider
What are the standards expected at each grade level?
How are they measured?
Content, Content and More Content!
What district and state tests occur at each grade level?
What accommodations are needed?
Involve the family at all times
No cookbook approach
Keep assessing the child’s needs
Listen, Listen, and Listen some more

Early listeners need to have listening goals in a quiet environment
As their listening skills advance, then goals can move into more controlled noise situations
Lastly, listening goals can be monitored in the classroom – children spend over ½ of their school day listening
Must read everyday to learn vocabulary!Read out loud!
A student needs to know 10,000 words by first grade
A student needs to know approximately 100,000 words by 12th grade
TV stays within 10,000 words!
Phonics
Sequencing
Retell
Geers (2003)
Large numbers of 8-9 yr. olds implanted before 5 years
Reading levels within the normal range
Geers (2008)
When tested again at 15-16 years of age- significant numbers had not progressed
Choose targets carefully with eye toward practicing consonants with a variety of vowels
Listen for sounds that are present and absent- it will guide us on how well the implant is or isn’t working
Muddy In/Muddy Out (Carol Flexer) Be aware of normal speech development but
don’t always feel like that is what needs to be followed
Only 25% of speech sounds are visible so keep that in mind when presenting sounds
Conclusions: Early cochlear implantation had a long term positive impact on auditory and verbal development but did not result in age-appropriate reading levels in high school for the majority of students.
Carol Flexor stated that the reading material for adolescents demands skills in word knowledge, complex vocabulary, making inferences, pragmatic skills of language.
Answer questions-verbally and written
Understanding age appropriate skills can be the best guide
Understand expectations of each grade level
The student may have great language skills but writing it down is a different ballgame!
