Contributing Editors. AO Contributing Editor, Linda Thibodeau, Ph.D., from the University of Texas at Dallas / Callier Center wrote an article titled, Behavioral Verification of Speech Recognition Benefit for Children with FM Systems Coupled to Cochlear Implants This includes a useful handout that the clinician can download and use to keep all the relevant information regarding a child's cochlear implant and FM system organized. If you work with children who use cochlear implants I would encourage you to read this article.
