This article explores a collaborative approach to spoken language development in children with cochlear implants (CIs), emphasizing the synergistic roles of a deaf pedagogue (deaf educator) and a speech therapist. It examines the unique contributions each professional brings to the rehabilitation process: the speech therapist focusing on auditory training, articulation, and language skills, while the deaf pedagogue provides cultural insights, communication strategies, and support for navigating the hearing world as a deaf individual. The article details the methods used by both professionals, highlighting how their coordinated efforts address the specific linguistic, social, and emotional needs of children with CIs. It analyzes the benefits of this collaborative model in terms of improved speech perception, language acquisition, communication skills, and overall well-being. The study offers valuable insights for creating more holistic and effective intervention programs for children with CIs, promoting greater success in spoken language development and integration.
