“…Developmental abnormalities, level of functioning, and behavioral pathology (such as autism) provide additional challenges in the accurate assessment of infant hearing loss. However, evidence suggests that profoundly deaf children in these groups may receive a myriad benefits with CI, including improvement in communication skills, self-sufficiency, and ability to interact with others (Donaldson, Heavner, & Zwolan, 2004;Filipo, Bosco, Mancini, & Ballantyne, 2004). Recent evidence in developmentally delayed children implanted under 36 months of age suggests that early diagnosis and CI is possible and allows improvement in some auditory skills (Wiley, Menizen-Derr, & Choo, 2008).…”

Since the advent of cochlear implantation, candidacy criteria have slowly broadened to include increasingly younger patients. Spurred by evidence demonstrating both perioperative safety and significantly increased speech and language benefit with early auditory intervention, children younger than 12 months of age are now being successfully implanted at many centers. This review highlights the unique challenges involved in cochlear implantation in the very young child, specifically diagnosis and certainty of testing, anesthetic risk, surgical technique, intraoperative testing and postoperative programming, long-term safety, development of receptive and expressive language, and outcomes of speech perception. Overall, the current body of literature indicates that cochlear implantation prior to 1 year of age is both safe and efficacious.

“…The single published study of progress in a group of children with ASD reported that smaller gains on tests of speech perception and language had been made in comparison to those reported for the cochlear implant general population, but that parent reports suggested positive improvements in their children's functioning and responsiveness (Donaldson et al, 2004).…”

“…Most studies have highlighted that children with additional disabilities require longer periods of implant use before demonstrating any benefit, and as for children in the general cochlear implant population, variation in outcomes is wide for children with additional disabilities (Hamzavi et al, 2000;Waltzman et al, 2000). It was reported for some children that the assessment tasks were too difficult to complete (Donaldson et al, 2004;Waltzman et al, 2000), which is a factor that has added to the difficulty of determining outcomes for this population.…”

“…Some of the observed benefits cannot be quantified on standardised tests, and have been instead reported anecdotally, with observations of improvements in social interaction and responsiveness to the environment, behaviour, vocalization, self-help skills, motor skills and the ability to follow instructions (Donaldson et al, 2004;Filipo et al, 2004;Fukuda et al, 2003;Waltzman et al, 2000;Wiley et al, 2005). There is still a need to determine the impact of additional disabilities on post-operative benefit with cochlear implants, and to define more clearly what benefits might reasonably be expected for children with different additional disabilities.…”

RESUMO. Para pessoas com deficiência auditiva (DA) severa ou profunda pode ser indicado o implante coclear (IC), dispositivo implantado na orelha cirurgicamente. Há um número significativo de crianças com DA e outras comorbidades, entre elas o Transtorno do Espect ro Autista (TEA). O objetivo desse estudo foi compreender a vivência de mães de crianças com IC e diagnóstico de TEA. O estudo foi de natureza qualitativa e o método utilizado foi a investigação fenomenológica, que consiste na apreensão do fenômeno tal como ele se manifesta para a pessoa que vivencia. Foram entrevistadas seis mães de crianças usuárias do IC e com diagnóstico de TEA. Os depoimentos foram submetidos ao processo de análise fenomenológica e se desvelou em sete categorias temáticas: O impacto das múltiplas deficiências; Dedicação exclusiva aos filhos; "Vinte e quatro horas correndo atrás"; "Só está faltando ele falar"; "O implante coclear foi uma bênção na minha vida e na dele"; Necessidade de apoio psicossocial; Como se sentem atualmente. As mãe s revelaram como são afetadas subjetivamente na sua relação com o filho com IC e diagnóstico de TEA, indicando impacto negativo na qualidade de sua vida. O IC significou a possibilidade de seu filho participar do mundo sonoro e elas poderem ter mais acesso ao mundo deles. A esperança no desenvolvimento da fala de seu filho passa a ser o sentido para continuarem a trajetória. De staca-se a necessidade de serviços de suporte aos pais, a importância do trabalho em equipe interdisciplinar e o estímulo à rede de apoio.Palavras-chave: Implante coclear; autismo; relações mãe-criança. COCHLEAR IMPLANT AND AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER: THE EXPERIENCE OF MOTHERSABSTRACT. Cochlear implant (CI), a device surgically implanted in the ear, may be indicated for people with severe or profound hearing loss (HI). A significant number of children are affected by HI and other comorbidities, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The objective of this study was to understand the experience of mothers of children with CI and diagnosis of ASD. The study had qualitative nature and the method used was phenomenological investigation, which consists in the apprehension of the phenomenon as it manifests itself to the person who experiences it. Six mothers of children with CI and diagno sis of ASD were interviewed. The statements were submitted to the process of phenomenological analysis and were unveiled in seven thematic categories: The impact of multiple disabilities; Exclusive dedication to the children; "Twenty-four hours running after it"; "The cochlear implant was a blessing in the life of both of us"; "It is as if he were speaking"; Need for psychosocial support; How they feel now. The mothers revealed how they are subjectively affected in their relationship with the child with CI and diagnosis of ASD, indicating negative impact on the quality of their life. The CI meant the possibility of the child to participate in the audible world and of they, as mother, to have more access to their world. Hope in the development of ...
