Speech therapy for children after cochlear implantation in the preschool age. Evaluation of passive vocabulary and understanding of speech by children with cochlear implants before starting school
Salačová, Martina ; Hádková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Mrkosová, Eva (referee)
Thesis deals with issues of cochlear implants. It is focused on pre-school children one year before attending basic school. Thesis discusses all requisites that precede, accompany and follow cochlear implantation. We primarily determined the possibilities of children with cochlear implants, whether they can reach approximate levels of communication as intact children of the same age specifically in development of passive vocabulary and in the ability of understanding of speech. We choose the test Diagnosis of Language Development (Diagnostika jazykového vývoje) by Gabriela Seidlová Málková and Filip Smolík. The results of tests of children with cochlear implants were compared with tests of intact children of the same age. Next we used analysis of expert literature and interviews with teachers to determine which particular factors have underlying influence in the process of therapy of children after cochlear implantation and which influence them enough so children with cochlear implants approach communication levels of intact children. These factors were tracked in case studies of two girls with cochlear implants. KEYWORDS: cochlear implants, passive vocabulary, understanding of speech, preschool age, speech therapy
