Bringing Sound to Life: Principles and Practices of Cochlear Implant Rehabilitation
Mary E. Koch 
Purpose: Provides strategies for cochlear implant rehabilitation for systematically
developing the spoken language skills of a child who has a cochlear implant
Contents:
Program 1 - Building Blocks of Spoken Language
Program 2 - Understanding Hearing and Hearing Loss. Easy-to-understand explanations. Video gives clear descriptions of an audiogram, speech acoustics, amplification, and more.
Program 3 - Cochlear Implants and Children: An Opportunity, Not A Cure. This video viewers step-by-step through the candidacy process, and follows 3 1/2-year-old Cecilia through the stages of pre-implant evaluation, surgery, and implant activation. Throughout the video, emphasis is placed on families, cochlear implant teams, and educators working together with a commitment to rehabilitation.
Program 4 - Principles and Practices of Cochlear Implant Rehabilitation. Filled with practical and easy-to-implement strategies, this video explains and demonstrates an abundance of systematic ways to develop auditory skills in a child with a cochlear implant. Learn why effective rehabilitation is critical to the success of a cochlear implant and you'll walk through the steps to effective therapy. Gain an in-depth look at using the Word Associations for Syllable Perception (W*A*S*P) system that gives you the tools to teach children how to make sounds.

As a programming guide, APT/HI results can be used to develop specific strategies and methods in planning an effective auditory training program. Results from the APT/HI can provide information for selecting the appropriate therapeutic approach or modifying an existing approach (e.g. auditory/verbal, aural/oral, or total communication)

The Baby is Listening : an Educational Tool for Professionals Who Work with Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Warren Estabrooks, Judith Marlowe
Purpose: The first principle of auditory-verbal practice is early detection and identification. When followed by aggressive audiological management and an early parent guidance program, children can learn to hear, listen, understand spoken language and talk with others. This video and guide are designed to illustrate diagnostic therapy and is not intended to represent a universal formula for success. Babies and their families are unique. Each requires a creative and individualized program. This kit delineates significant features of the therapy episodes and provides guiding questions for in-depth professional critique and discussion. The six babies range in age from a few months to three years.
