Intervention Considerations Children with Cochleovestibular Malformation Using Cochlear Implants and Auditory Brainstem Implants
There is early evidence suggesting that the ABI can provide auditory access of speech to support open-set word recognition and spoken language in some children. Children who receive the ABI require intensive therapy and habilitation to learn to map the sounds of spoken language to information received by the brain. As a result, children using ABIs demonstrate a need for long term therapy, visually supported communication, and strong parental involvement. Children with significant cochlear malformation and cochlear nerve deficiency can be expected to demonstrate speech detection and pattern perception; however they do not develop speech understanding to the same rate and level as children implanted with cochlear nerves. Considerations for developing long term treatment plans for children using ABIs and children using cochlear implants with cochleovestibular malformation will be discussed. Given the number of children that are affected by additional disabilities, including cognitive, visual, motor, behavioral, and other developmental disorders, a model for transdisciplinary care will be discussed. The presentation will provide the participant with recommendations for aural habilitation and case management. This information will be helpful to audiologists, early intervention providers, speech language pathologists, teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing, listening and spoken language specialists.

- Learners will articulate the value of transdisciplinary care when providing intervention to children who are deaf and hard of hearing with additional disabilities using sensory devices who have cochleovestibular malformation
- Learners will incorporate a five step process utilized in developing a short term and a long term treatment plan for aural habilitation.
- Learners will demonstrate an ability to incorporate task, content, and materials scaffolding during a learning activity to support acquisition of an auditory based skill.
