2002-07-09 Cochlear implants give deaf children education advantage!
|
|
A study out of Johns Hopkins University showed deaf children who received the implant plus one year of intense auditory and language development training were fully mainstreamed faster, at younger ages and at higher rates than a comparison group without implants. They also were less dependent on special education services after an average of two years. The study additionally placed the cost savings of educating a child receiving an implant at age 3 at $30,000-$100,000 over the course of primary and secondary school education.

2002-05-21 Learning Difficulties and Classroom Accoustics
|
|
A 1999 study out of Ohio State University revealed that many classrooms have enough background noise and echoes to hamper language learning in children with minor hearing deficits. While adults can filter for poor accoustics in a room, young children -who are just learning language- have more difficulty. The comprehensive study found that only 2 of 32 schools in the study had acceptible accoustics.

2001-10-01 Deaf or Hard of Hearing Babies; the Importance of Early Intervention.
|
|
It has been estimated that hearing loss occurs in three of every 1,000 births. Getting an infants hearing checked as early on as possible is one of the most important actions a parent can take to ensure that child’s future success as a reader. If babies begin processing sounds - building phonological awareness - shortly after birth, a hard-of-hearing baby can miss out on vital stages of language development. In fact, there is evidence that hard-of-hearing babies must be diagnosed and treated before 6 months of age to develop optimally. If a parent waits too long, it can have long-lasting negative effects. Consider this daunting statistic: according to a Utah State University study, children with hearing loss in just one ear are 10 times more likely to be held back a grade in school.
