summary

This book is a localized Persian adaptation of “Cochlear Implants for Deaf Babies and Toddlers: A Sound Start” developed by the Ear Foundation. It provides a practical, accessible guide for families and professionals working with children who are both deaf and blind and who receive cochlear implants. The book explains the fundamentals of cochlear implantation, the unique challenges associated with deafblindness, and the specific considerations required when evaluating candidacy and supporting auditory development in children with combined sensory loss. It offers structured, step by step strategies for using cochlear implant devices at home and in school settings, monitoring progress, and conducting functional assessments. Through illustrations, examples, and clear explanations, the book helps caregivers and professionals create enriched auditory environments and support communication development, sensory access, and long term learning outcomes for deafblind children.
