The MED-EL BRIDGE to better communication is a program especially designed for education and rehabilitation to help bridge the gap between implantation and the development of improved listening skills and spoken communication. It offers a variety of communication packages for clinical and home use. This brochure lists available assessment materials, rehabilitation products and information brochures for adults and children who have received a cochlear implant. A brief overview of each product is provided as well as the price of each item. If you would like to order any of the products, please complete the attached order form and return it to a MED-EL representative or fax to: MED-EL Austria: +43/(0)512-293381 MED-EL UK: +44(0)1484 686 056 Copyright by MED-EL June 2008

PAEDIATRIC ASSESSMENT IDENTIFYING EARLY PHONOLOGICAL NEEDS Developed by Elaine Paden and Carolyn Brown in 1992, Identifying Early Phonological Needs (IEPN) provides an objective means of assessing speech capabilities and deficiencies in hearing impaired children. This test assesses the spontaneous use of first level phonological patterns in hearing impaired children. The IEPN samples broad categories that are basic in oral communication and assesses the early stages of speech acquisition. The test is suitable for children with low level verbal competency and is age independent. COMMON OBJECTS TOKEN (COT) TEST The COT Test is a sentence level designed to more adequately describe the auditory speech reception skills of profoundly hearing impaired children. While it is comprised of closed set tasks, these tasks range from moderately simple to quite complex because the test aims to assess the child at a level between basic closed set tasks and open set tasks. This prevents 2 common causes of low scores and failure to test: 1) children being intimidated by the complexity of an open set task and 2) children being too cognitively immature to test, as is sometimes the case with other currently available measures. The COT Test was revised in 2004 and is suitable for children with cochlear implants, from 3 years of age. The COT Test has 2 different testing levels: a quick test with 3 subtests and a full-length version with 6 different subtests.

PAEDIATRIC ASSESSMENT EARS EVALUATING AUDITORY RESPONSES TO SPEECH EARS is a multi-language test battery designed to assess auditory development of children before and after cochlear implantation. EARS was developed to follow the emerging auditory skills following cochlear implantation, as described by Ling (1976) and Erber (1982): detection, discrimination, identification, recognition, and comprehension. The EARS battery includes tests of different linguistic levels suitable for children of different ages. The test has a number of closed and open set speech perception tests, as well as questionnaires that can be completed by the child s parents and teachers. EARS is useful in assessing the long term evolution of auditory perceptual skills in pre-, peri- and post-lingually deafened children.

The Auditory Questionnaire is the first module of the LittlEARS battery, which is designed to assess the preverbal auditory development in very young children. The LittlEARS Auditory Questionnaire is intended to follow the auditory development of children from newborn hearing screening to 24 months of age or hearing impaired children with cochlear implants or hearing aids with a hearing age (time after first fitting of the devices) of 0-24 months. The questionnaire was standardized on 218 normal hearing children aged 0-24 months and is currently being evaluated on children with cochlear implants. Expected values and minimal values are given for individual comparison. The questionnaire consists of 35 questions, which can be completed by parents. Completion instructions are provided on the questionnaire. It typically takes about 10 minutes for a parent or caregiver to complete.

PAEDIATRIC ASSESSMENT My Diary Veekmans, K., Kühn-Inacker, H., D`Haese, P. MY LittlEARS DIARY My LittlEARS Diary gathers information about early auditory, speech and language development. It is both a record book and an assessment tool for documenting early development of hearing-impaired children fitted either with a hearing aid or a cochlear implant. It includes: a diary to guide parents observations about their child, enabling the therapist to use these reports as an evaluation instrument for research and therapy; a parent book introducing the diary; a therapist book providing an overview of the milestones of auditory development during the first 2 years of (hearing) age and a guideline for clinical use of the diary; diary overview sheets for the therapist to document questions and observations taken from the diary and parent reports; and the First Words List for hearing impaired children, which categorically documents the first words spoken by the child. Diary Therapist book Parent book Diary overview sheet for therapists First Words List, German 30 / 25 PICTURE PERFECT PRESCHOOL Alisa Beard, M.S. and Patricia Parekh, M.S. developed the Picture Perfect Preschool especially for parents of preschoolaged children. The Picture Perfect Preschool (PPP) package was designed to assist families who are just beginning the search for a preschool setting for their young child with hearing impairment. It also includes a helpful tool for evaluating a child s current preschool placement to determine if the use of audition, speech, language and academic skills are being maximized. The package includes: 20 questions to ask your future preschool; a guideline for parents to use when evaluating a potential preschool; the Parent Observation Checklist, which assists parents in focusing on and documenting observations about important listening and language targets that can occur throughout the various segments of a typical preschool day (circle time, snack time, etc.); and Teaching Tips, a simple guide parents can provide to the classroom teacher with suggestions to better serve the child with hearing loss in the classroom.

Robinson, M.Ed., CED. This tool is designed for educators and parents of children who are deaf to use together for analysis of a child s readiness to enter mainstream education with hearing peers. Consideration is given to a variety of areas including standardized testing, listening behaviours, speech and language skills, auditory perception, academic skills, social/emotional development, and school and family concerns. The importance of each area for evaluation is explained in a short summary. A numerical scoring sheet targets a child s strengths and challenges and provides information on overall readiness, as well as highlights areas needing further intervention or support services. The kit includes a manual explaining skills that are considered important along with recommendations for assessment that will help gather the data needed to assist in decision making for successful mainstreaming.
