简要总结
The purpose of this research study is to develop and evaluate a parent training program, which aims to improve language. The study is being conducted to see if teaching parents positive parenting techniques and behavior strategies will improve the rate of language development in children with cochlear implants when compared to standard speech therapy (e.g., auditory-verbal therapy).

结局指标
主要结局
Change in parental sensitivity
时间窗: Baseline, Week 10
Parent sensitivity (warmth, positive regard, respect for child autonomy) will be coded from video-taped parent-child interactions during two play activities. Sensitivity will be coded on a 1 to 7 Likert scale, with higher scores indicating higher sensitivity.
次要结局
- Change in parental involvement and self-efficacy(Baseline, Week 10)
- Change in Auditory Skills(Baseline, Week 10)
- Change in use of higher-level versus lower-level language strategies(Baseline, Week 10)
