The majority of children with cochlear implants attend school in mainstream settings. Often times their teachers and other support personnel may not be familiar with the needs of a child with a cochlear implant. Two comprehensive guides offered by Cochlear Americas are A Teacher’s Guide to the Nucleus Cochlear Implant System and the Cochlear Implant Resource Guide: Meeting Children’s Needs at School. Both of these can be ordered by contacting customer service at 800-523-5798.
Visit the resource center for more information on the support materials for teachers and other support personnel.
