Various studies have highlighted that severe to profound deafness in children affects the acquisition and mastering of spoken language. Data collected on children with cochlear implants have shown contrasting results and large individual variability in linguistic proficiency and in literacy. Particular weakness has been demonstrated in mastering morphosyntactic aspects as well as in reading and writing. The chapter offers an overview of recent studies that analyzed the role of specific parameters (i.e., age at diagnosis, age at implant activation, family and school environment, and exposure to sign language) in determining language and academic outcomes. The chapter then describes the Italian educational contexts in which deaf children can be enrolled and provides examples of visually grounded multimedia environments developed in Italy to enhance deaf students’ literacy.
Keywords: cochlear implant, linguistic proficiency, academic outcomes, sign language, multimedia environments
