Twins: Children with Cochlear Implants

Description

This training will show participants the results of a longitudinal research project following 2 sets of twins until they are approximately 4 1/2 years old. Each set of twins has one profoundly deaf twin who has been given a cochlear implant. This insightful documentary provides a dramatic demonstration of the power of the cochlear implant, as well as the power of intentional parental involvement and stimulation.
