As the number of children with cochlear implants increases, more speech and hearing professionals will be called on to take leadership roles in developing specialized intervention and educational programs. Because of their graduate-level training in speech, language, and hearing disorders, speech-language pathologists and audiologists will increasingly find themselves viewed as "local experts" on cochlear implant issues. The articles in this forum support that role by addressing topics that are critical for serving children who have cochlear implants. Although cochlear implant technology clearly has impressive potential for improving the lives of deaf children, the actualization of those improvements requires informed and concerted effort from highly skilled professionals. It is hoped that the information in this clinical forum will enable readers to expand their knowledge base and clinical skills to meet the challenges of serving children who have cochlear implants.
