tttt Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hi, My grandson almost one year old is scheduled for CI in a month's time. Would you have a forum where folks like us can start the process of teaching him language? Appreciate your patience and time while we learn. Thanks, T.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 29, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hello tttt, Welcome. It's great that your grandson will soon get a cochlear implant. That's very exciting. I see you are in the US. I am assuming that your grandson is already hooked up with early intervention services. Hopefully his early intervention team has experience with young CI users. If not, you may want to ask his CI center to give you names of therapists who work with young children and their families in your area. Feel free to ask any questions you have. I wish the best for your grandson. Mary Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 29, 2016 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Welcome ttt As Marybeth stated, the early interventionist at school will. Help a great deal. They offer a number of programs that are free to you. My son went through this as he was very late in developing speech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikHaugsby Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hi, My grandson almost one year old is scheduled for CI in a month's time. Would you have a forum where folks like us can start the process of teaching him language? Appreciate your patience and time while we learn. Thanks, T. Hi T.! Welcome to HearPeers! I'm sure this is a really exciting time for you and your grandson, and there are lots of different ways that you can help him build language skills. One place I'd recommend going is the MED-EL blog, where we've got over a hundred different articles that have hands-on information about building language skills. Here are two ones we've recently posted, which I think would help you out in the next month: 5 Things to Do Before Your Child Receives a Cochlear Implant Help Your Child Develop Language Skills with Rhymes And you can check out all the articles here: http://www.medel.com/blog/tips-and-tricks/ Otherwise, just ask a question here and I know you'll get lots of great answers!
