2 Should all deaf children who are cochlear implant candidates learn sign language? Comprehensive literature review, Speech production Receptive and expressive language Speech perception Fitzpatrick et al., Favor oral communication + sign support No significant difference Favor oral communication The benefits of learning sign language clearly outweigh the risks. For parents who are willing and able, this approach seems clearly preferable to an approach that focuses solely on oral communication.

5 Communication approach affects communication outcomes worldwide. Responsible interpretation of these data Children with CI in auditory verbal (AV) or auditoryoral programs outperform those in bilingual bicultural programs. 80% of children with CI in AV programs achieve ageappropriate language by 5 years Children with CI in AV programs have significantly higher language scores vs. those in standard habilitation.

6 Conclusion If development of spoken language is the primary objective for a child with a CI, intensive focus on early spoken input increases the odds of achieving that goal. Conclusion Families need access to research based evidence to guide decision making and inform treatment plans. White & Cooper, White & Cooper,
