'Small group' rehabilitation in adolescent cochlear implant users: aims, method and results.
The aim was to extend the linguistic, social and cognitive aspects of communication skills. The method was to use meaningful contexts and to attribute new significance to errors. Methods used were phonetic games (to improve speech production) and exercises (to increase reading and writing skills). The results after 18 months of group rehabilitation are presented.
