Author: Holly Whalen, Au.D., CCC-A & Melissa H. Sweeney, M.S., CCC/SLP, LSLS, Cert. AVT, University of Texas Dallas, Callier Center, Dallas Cochlear Implant Program
Description: Children with additional special needs are receiving cochlear implants in greater numbers. A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted device for people with severe to profound hearing loss designed to increase the user’s sound awareness. Children with diagnoses in addition to hearing loss can benefit from a cochlear implant but the outcome and/or expectation for them may be different. Several diagnoses will be discussed along with factors to consider for successful implant use. This presentation will discuss factors to consider during the candidacy stage, important considerations for testing/MAPping, considerations for speech-language therapy, and the crucial role a team approach plays in working with children who receive cochlear implants and have other diagnoses in addition to hearing loss.

Think Social: Developing Social Understanding in Children Who are Deaf (Professionals)
Author: Kimberly Peters, Ph.D., CCC-SLP/A, AVT, Associate Professor, Western Washington University
Description: The ability to understand and talk about ones' own feelings and thoughts as well as the emotions and ideas of others is referred to as social cognition. It can be thought of as our intuition about the world. Social cognition is useful to children and adults because it allows us to empathize, understand what motivates people, and navigate the social world. It also helps children understand stories, make inferences, and appreciate jokes. Children with profound hearing loss often experience delays in their ability to talk about their feelings, emotions, opinions, thoughts and ideas. They also can demonstrate delays in their ability to talk about how others feel, and reason about what others think. Because therapists and parents focus on speech, language, and listening development in young children with hearing loss, this important area of social cognitive development can be overlooked. The purpose of this presentation is to help parents understand the basics of social cognitive development in children who are deaf and to provide strategies for enhancing this important psychosocial area in children of all ages.

Working with Adults: Who, Me? (Professionals)
Author: Ashley Garber, M.S., CCC-SLP, LSLS Cert. AVT., Listening and Language Connections
Description: It is widely accepted that any child receiving a cochlear implant must receive subsequent aural rehabilitation services in order to experience maximal benefit from the implant device.

Speech language pathologists and audiologists who have trained to work with children may be reluctant to apply their skills in auditory development to adult clients. This session is designed to underscore the overlap in skills and knowledge for these groups while highlighting concepts that apply specifically to adult clients.

SmartSound options allow the cochlear implant listener to more easily focus on soft speech and environmental sounds and to hear in difficult listening environments, such as a noisy room. This presentation describes the basics of SmartSound technologies, when and why to use them.
