Choosing Age-Appropriate Activities & Materials for Late Cochlear Implant Therapy | Chapter 7

In Chapter 7, Lim Jia Chuan (LSLS Cert AVT) from KK Women's and Children's Hospital Singapore tackles one of the most common challenges clinicians face — how to choose therapy activities that are both age-appropriate and aligned with a child's listening level when they receive their cochlear implant late. JC shares the importance of matching a child's interests to therapy goals, using meaningful repetition within play-based contexts, and making participation predictable for newly implanted children who are still learning that sound has meaning. She also introduces creative tools she uses in her own clinic including family stick puppets, experience books, cooking set play, and turn-taking role reversal activities — all designed to bring listening goals to life in ways that feel natural and engaging for both the child and the family at home.
