Beginning To Talk at 20 Months: Early Vocal Development in a Young Cochlear Implant Recipient.
Ertmer, David J.; Mellon, Jennifer A.
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v44 n1 p192-206 Feb 2001
Early vocal development, consonant production, and spoken vocabulary were examined in a deaf toddler whose multichannel cochlear implant was activated at 20 months. The child understood almost 240 words and spoke approximately 90 words after one year of implant experience. The combination of early cochlear implantation, family support, and regular intervention appeared to facilitate efficient early vocal development. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
