Clinical Tools to Track Progress After Late Cochlear Implantation | Chapter 4

In Chapter 4, Lim Jia Chuan (LSLS Cert AVT) from KK Women's and Children's Hospital Singapore walks clinicians through a practical toolkit for measuring and reporting progress in children who receive their cochlear implant late. JC covers key outcome measures including the MED-EL Auditory Skills Checklist, the Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP), the Speech Intelligibility Rating (SIR), and the PEACH and PEACH Plus caregiver questionnaires. She also introduces the Essential Steps for Paediatric CI Habilitation for children with complex needs and late implantees, and shares how therapy approaches differ significantly between a 5-year-old and a 1-year-old newly implanted child — while highlighting the core principles that remain the same, including the critical role of active parent involvement.
