Participants included 15 children with cochlear implants who ranged in age of implantation and amount of implant experience. Raw score performance was compared with age of implantation, chronological age, and amount of implant experience. Values were then applied to test norms (i.e., compared to children with typical hearing) using chronological age and amount of implant experience as referents. The number of errors was not significantly correlated with age of implantation or chronological age, but was correlated with amount of implant experience. Relative to the test norms, 5 of 15 children achieved standard scores within 1.5 standard deviations of their chronological age referent. Eourteen of 15 children met this standard when amount of implant experience was used as a referent. Order of English consonant acquisition also appeared to be broadly similar to that of children with typical hearing. Findings are consistent with previous studies using this test with this population. Therefore, it appears to be appropriate to use the GFTA-2 for assessing speech production skills in children with cochlear implants.","PeriodicalId":87459,"journal":{"name":"The Volta review","volume":"113 1","pages":"25-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79320932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicated that the most vulnerable aspect of narration in children with HL is sharing information that is relevant for the task and context. Children with a sensorineural HL diagnosed during their preschool years are at risk for poorer development of higher level language skills, such as narrative production, compared with same-age peers.
