Funded Activity Summary

A comparison of anticipated benefits and the personal, educational and social outcomes of cochlear implantation in deaf children. Language and communication, educational achievement, social identity and psychological well-being are critical outcomes of cochlear implantation if this intervention is broadly in the best interests of deaf children. This joint project uses innovative methodology to compare anticipated benefits of implantation and achieved outcomes in school, home and social settings over three years. It enables analyses of data on personal, social and educational outcomes of implantation not currently available to families, medical implant programs, advocacy organisations and educational authorities. Such information will assist in addressing any barriers to the children's personal and social development and achievement in educational and family settings.
