technology has made great progress in the normalization of children born with bilateral profound hearing loss but not enough to acquire the oral language as do the children listeners, said Rafael Santana, a teacher and speech therapist.
Rafael Santana, professor and director of the Department of Education, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, explained that this is one of the preliminary findings of a study on the "pre-linguistic development of profoundly deaf children with cochlear implants."
We study the relationships between speech perception, family background and speech therapy and speech production.
Rafael Santana has said that the implant at an early age is vital because the first years of the child are the top brain plasticity, ie the time when the brain is more receptive to environmental stimulation.
In general, the more parents are involved in stimulating and enabling the child and the better guide are, the greater the progress of children.
Thus, according to Rafael Santana, the technology is very important, even essential, but not enough if you want maximum results such as the pre-lingual profoundly deaf children are matched to the audience in the shortest possible time to have a standardized development and schooling.
