Identification of issues encountered by deaf educators working with multiply involved children and the related emotional affects that go along with intervention

This paper discusses common issues deaf educators face that are not directly related to a child’s hearing impairment and thus often outside the educators’ area of expertise. The study also identifies a range of emotions early interventionists experience while working with children with multiple impairments.

The effects of group-based psychosocial therapy on conversational fluency and communication handicap

This paper studies whether a combination of group rehabilitation in conjunction with psychosocial therapy enhances conversational fluency and diminishes communication handicap in cochlear implant recipients.
