| | Resumen: | The number of children who receive cochlear implants is increasing, likely the result of many factors such as universal newborn hearing screening, improvements in audiological testing, and advances in hearing technology. Additionally, there has been a trend to provide cochlear implants to children at much younger ages than in the past. This book is an appropriate resource for students enrolled in college training programs and is also appropriate for school professionals who are new to the field of cochlear implants as well as those that have been working with implants for several years. The book addresses the issue that the procedures used to educate children with hearing losses have changed significantly over recent years. As the authors indicate, this book does not answer all questions regarding educational issues of such children, but does provide the reader with good references regarding this topic. One of the main strengths of the text is its emphasis on a team approach to educational management of the child with a cochlear implant and its discussion of the need for management of the needs of each individual child – what works well for one child may not necessarily work as well for a different child with a cochlear implant. This book encourages professionals to look at each child as an individual and to determine where the child falls on the “Zone of Cochlear Implant Performance.” They describe how important it is to continue monitoring the child’s progress in academics, auditory skills, speech and language skills and social development. This reviewer agrees with the authors that parents as well as professionals need to evaluate and adjust the child’s current educational placement if needed to allow the child to maxima the auditory potential of the cochlear implant. And just as importantly, the authors encourage professionals in the field of education and speech and hearing to re-evaluate and update their current philosophies regarding the education of children who are deaf and utilize cochlear implants. This book is timely in its publication as many professionals in the educational realm are seeking information that will help them better serve and meet the educational needs of children with cochlear implants. | | Nota de contenido: | CONTENTS
