I hear the comments in real life from parents all the time, get them in my email, and see them on various message boards, listservs, and social media sites. They usually follow the same pattern:
“My [son/daughter] has had a cochlear implant for [X months/years]. [He/she] is only saying [few] words/sentences. [He/she] isn’t reacting to sound like we hoped. What do we do?!?”
