مقایسه میزان توجه ویژه در کودکان مدرسه با ایمپلنتهای کوچلر در مقایسه با سایر همسالان و داده های هنجاری

Children with CIs continue to display deficits in visual attention when compared to their hearing peers. Despite improvements in oral language, these problems have critical implications for academic performance and social competence. Currently, cochlear implant teams do not focus on these other dimensions of development and thus, may not be positioned to address them. Assessment of attention and behavior should be incorporated into routine, annual visits soon after implant surgery, and remediation of these deficits should be included in early intervention programs.
