Abstract

As children are receiving cochlear implants at younger ages, benchmarks in speech, language, and auditory development can assist auditory-verbal therapists in setting expectation levels. Therapists can then counsel parents who often inquire how their children are progressing compared to peers with the same amount of listening experience. This article describes the second phase of development of the Children’s Hospital (of Eastern Ontario) Inventory of Skills in Audition, Language, and Speech (CHISALS). This 25- item checklist examines the development of audition, speech, and language in children up to 2 years post cochlear implantation whose cochlear implant(s) were activated by age 18 months. It also describes the construct validity of the CHISALS compared with standardized tests used to evaluate speech and language. In this pilot phase with 10 children, results indicate moderate–tohigh correlations with these evaluations as well as with time.

Funding

This ongoing research is supported through a grant from the Big Steps initiative of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Foundation and the CHEO Research Institute with matching funds from the CHEO Department of Surgery. We would like to thank the participating therapists for their input and clinical expertise. Without the time and e 缀ort of the families who participated, this work would not be possible. Research time provided by Carol Theoret-Douglas, former Operations Director, CHEO Rehabilitation Patient Service Unit, and Erin McSweeney, former Audiology Professional Practice Leader, allowed the first author the time necessary to complete this project. We also would like to thank Julie Boucher, Research Assistant, Rehabilitation Patient Service Unit, for her contributions to the editing and formatting of this work.
