Phonology of Hearing Impaired children

[Silliman, Elaine]

The journal, Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools (LSHSS) will
have a Forum coming up in its next issue (July 2002) entitled Children with
Cochlear Implants: Challenges in Optimizing Oral Communication. The
following articles will appear in that issue:
1)	AN INTRODUCTION TO COCHLEAR IMPLANT TECHNOLOGY, ACTIVATION, AND
PROGRAMMING (Moore & Teagle)
2)	SCHOOL-BASED SERVICES FOR CHILDREN WHO RECEIVE COCHLEAR IMPLANTS
(Teagle & Moore)
3)	EFFECTS OF EDUCATIONAL CHOICES ON SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT OF
CHILDREN IMPLANTED BEFORE AGE FIVE (Geers)
4)	VOCAL DEVELOPMENT IN YOUNG CHILDREN WITH COCHLEAR IMPLANTS: PROFILES
AND IMPLICATIONS FOR 	INTERVENTION (Ertmer et al.)
5)	INTRODUCING YOUNG CHILDREN WHO ARE DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING TO
SPOKEN LANGUAGE:  CHILD'S VOICE, AN ORAL SCHOOL (Wilkins & Ertmer)
6)	COMMUNICATION INTERVENTION FOR CHILDREN WITH COCHLEAR IMPLANTS: TWO
CASE STUDIES (Ertmer, 	Leonard, & Pachuilo).

Also, LSHSS has also just published two Clinical Forums on Advances in
Phonology in Optimality Theory . There is one article in particular that may
be of interest and it is by Stephen Chin entitled "Aspects of stop consonant
production by pediatric users of cochlear implants" (LSHSS, Vol. 33(1)). In
addition, there is a paper by Margaret Kehoe (LSHSS, Vol. 32 (4)) about
assessing prosody entitled, "Prosodic Patterns in Children's Multisyllabic
Word Productions".

Dear Adi-Bensaid Limor
	For hard of hearing and deaf children without implants but
receiving clinical intervention, you might get some useful information from
the following references:

Obenchain, Patrick, Lise Menn, and Christine Yoshinaga-Itano. 2000. Can
speech development at thirty-six months in children with hearing loss be
predicted from information available in the second year of life? In  C.
Yoshinaga-Itano and A. Sedey (eds.) Language, Speech, and Social-Emotional
Development of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children: The Early Years. Volta
Review Research Monograph.

Wallace, Valerie, Lise Menn, and Christine Yoshinaga-Itano. 2000. Is babble
the gateway to speech for all children? A longitudinal study of deaf and
hard-of-hearing infants. In  C. Yoshinaga-Itano and A. Sedey (eds.)

Hard-of-Hearing Children: The Early Years. Volta Review Research Monograph.


>Dear fellow researchers,
>
>I am a PhD student and I am interested in phonology of hearing impaired
>children.
>It is a longitudinal research and we intend to compare the prosodic
>development of children during their first stages of language acquisition.
>The emphasis is on deaf children with a cochlear implant.
>I am interested in the prosodic theory and also in the optimality theory.
>I have two requests:
>1. Do you know bibliography on this topic which might help me?
>2. Do you know a program for analyzing the data (number of syllables,
>complexity of syllables,
>Stress, onset, coda acquisition etc.)?
>Thank you by advanced
