Cаse Study:Beаtrice is а 4-year, 9-mоnth-оld child whо was diagnosed at 35 months with progressive bilateral severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. At 42 months of age, she received a cochlear implant. Prior to implantation, her family used sign language to reduce communication frustrations, and she was enrolled in a preschool program that used simultaneous communication (spoken language and sign language) while targeting auditory, speech, and language development. Beatrice's SCALES profile revealed strengths in attention but concerns in social-emotional development, auditory skills, language development, articulation, and intelligibility. Although her social-emotional functioning and communication success with family and peers improved over time, her listening and spoken language skills have not progressed as expected. A meeting has been scheduled with her family to discuss concerns and future planning. Question:As Beatrice's speech-language clinician, what would be your next steps in evaluating her limited progress in listening and spoken language development? In 3–4 sentences, describe at least two factors you would investigate and one recommendation you would discuss with the family to support Beatrice's communication and language outcomes.
