The study included 12 children (2 to 5 years). They are divided into 3 groups: children with a cochlear implant Group, children with hearing aids used, and normal hearing children. The voice was analyzed using the software program Dr. Speech Vocal Assessment. Values of voice parameters were analyzed using Statistical Methods. The result of this study shows that the mean value of habitual frequency was higher in children with the cochlear implant group and hearing aid users group as compared to the other groups and all voice parameters of 3 groups did not show statistically significant differences. A study done by Pickett in 1996 reported that the Fo was produced by children with hearing loss. Our study also evidence of increased F0 in children with hearing loss. However, all voice parameters did not show a significant difference between the children with cochlear implants, hearing aid users, and normal hearing; the result of cochlear implantation and hearing aid and voice and speech education is thus sufficient.","PeriodicalId":91297,"journal":{"name":"International journal of speech & language pathology and audiology","volume":"346 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135804672","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}

The Communication Complexity Scale (CCS) is a measure that evaluates expressive presymbolic communication including gestures, vocalizations and eye gaze. Studying the effectiveness of this tool in a Spanish speaking environment was undertaken to determine the applicability of the CCS with Spanish speaking children. Methods & Procedures: In 2011-2012, researchers from the University of Kansas and Centro Ann Sullivan del Perú (CASP) investigated communication in a cohort of 71 young Spanish speaking children with developmental disabilities and a documented history of self-injurious, stereotyped and aggressive behaviors. Communication was assessed first by parental report with translated versions of the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales (CSBS), a well-known assessment of early communication, and then eleven months later with the CCS.\u0000\u0000\u0000HYPOTHESIS\u0000We hypothesized that the CCS and the CSBS measures would be significantly correlated in this population of Spanish speaking children.\u0000\u0000\u0000OUTCOMES & RESULTS\u0000The CSBS scores from time 1 with a mean participant age of 41 months were determined to have a strong positive relationship to the CCS scores obtained at time 2 with a mean participant age of 52 months.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS\u0000The CCS is strongly correlated to a widely accepted measure of early communication. These findings support the validity of the Spanish version of the CCS and demonstrate its usefulness for children from another culture and for children in a Spanish speaking environment.","PeriodicalId":91297,"journal":{"name":"International journal of speech & language pathology and audiology","volume":"3 1 1","pages":"9-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66309371","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}
