Study of Children with Cochlear Implants

This diploma paper is a summary of my knowledge and experience from ten-year observation of a child with a cochlear implant. The child was one of the first implanted children in the Czech Republic. The observation started during the nursery school attendance, then continued at the basic school and will be finished in the first year of the practical school. I was interested in child's language, personal development in school and family environment, including interpersonal relation. The theoretic part of this theses covers a brief history of the cochlear implants, their technology and possibilities and introduces selection candidates of the candidate for implantation. It handles also with methodology of subsequent rehabilitation. The practical part includes description of logopaedia therapy process in the context of the complex therapeutic incidence. Very significant section of the practical part makes up video-recording from different age and rehabilitation period. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org
