As I have stated num,erous times, cloggy, CI is not the issue. The assumption the a CI will allow a child to function the same way academically and socially as a hearing child is the issue for me. The children who perform best with CI are those exposed to both sign and speech in both their academic and social environments (marshark, et. al. 2005)
