School Professionals Working With
Children With Cochlear Implants by
Mary Ellen Nevins Patricia M. Chute
A Must Read On Children With Ci's
This new book is a comprehensive resource for school-based
professionals who work with the increasing number of children with
cochlear implants. Focusing on giving the reader critical background
information, the well-known authors begin with the history, technology, and
functionality of cochlear implants. They cover the changes seen in the
populations now utilizing these devices and describe how the impact of
having an implant can affect a child. Finally, they highlight how the
clinician and team providing services can best address each child’s
individual needs. Special consideration is given to the multidisciplinary
team and the culture of collaboration: handling the effects of family
influence and participation, issues of special populations (such as non-
English-speaking parents), and providing services that best address
individual children’s needs. Throughout the text, the authors address

new questions and issues resulting from the rapidly evolving technology.
The authors detail the effects of more and younger children receiving
cochlear implants entering into school systems and discuss the emerging
and increased role of the speech pathologist. The book is the ideal guide
and supplies the school professional with tools for providing the best
possible direction and options for children with cochlear implants.
