Abstract
This paper considers the implications for deaf children and their families of the establishment of a cochlear implant programme for children. The importance of recognizing that implantation affects the whole child and that a multidisciplinary whole-child approach is necessary is stressed. The elements of a cochlear implant support service for families with deaf children are described.
