One of the most frequent inquiries we get to this blog are those from Music Therapists in all corners of the world. Most of the emails ask for resource ideas to work with kids with Cochlear Implants. I think this is a growing indication of the language and listening value and benefit that kids can receive from good music therapy.
One of the best music therapy resource is Christine Barton - Check out her 2010 publcation of Music, Spoken Language, and Children with Hearing Loss: Using Music to Develop Spoken Language, as well as all her other publications. Also Advanced Bionic's Listening Room is an excellent resource for interactive and uniquely designed practice activities for hearing rehabilitation.
