Assessment of the Development of Social Cognition in a Deaf Child With a Cochlear Implant : A Study Using a Standardized Questionnaire
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
This study investigates the adaptability of a questionnaire assessing social cognition in children with cochlear implants aged 3 to 6 years, implanted before the age of 15 months. The primary objective is to evaluate the comprehensibility and relevance of the questionnaire in this population, considering their specific communication modes and cognitive profiles. By analysing response variability, communication abilities, and social interaction patterns, the study aims to refine the tool for accurate assessment. The findings will contribute to improving evaluation methods for social cognition in young deaf children.
