Abstract:
This case study analyzes and describes the language, executive function, and psychosocial outcomes of two 6-year-old children with cochlear implants in the context of their respective family environments. Despite having nearly identical audiological histories, their language abilities and social skills are markedly different from one another, exemplifying the variability in outcomes of children with cochlear implants. Families play a critical role in child development. Including analyses of the family environment serves to draw attention to the importance of expanding the variables of potential influence beyond child characteristics to more fully encompass the factors that influence children's performance in future studies.
