Blog 7 - Clinic week 7

This week I did not see anybody in clinic. It was a slow last week. I decided to research and find an article of something I was interested in....cochlear implants. This article talks about a child who received a cochlear implant. She was the youngest of 4 children and only her oldest sister could communicate with her. Her parents both worked a lot and did not spend much time with the family. It describes the process of her cochlear implant and how well she did. I think it is important to realize our role when dealing with parents of children who are receiving a cochlear implant. It is important to work with the parents, teachers, etc. I enjoyed reading the article, hope you guys like it :)

Have a good few weeks off and see ya soon :)
