Bibliography

This annotated bibliography has been developed to support AG Bell public policy initiatives. Research has been included about typical language development, language development for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH), bilingual language development, bilingual-bimodal language development, cochlear implant outcomes, psychosocial development, literacy and parent choice. The majority of the articles were published in 2012 or later. A few articles published prior to 2012 have been included because of the importance of the research reported.

 

Where is Research Happening?

Here are some of the places where research about hearing, listening and spoken language are happening.

Research Resources at Your Fingertips  

Advances in listening and spoken language development start with data-driven research. While there are many opportunities now for children with hearing loss who use listening and spoken language communication, there is still much more to be done.
AG Bell has created a central resource page to help those seeking research opportunities, those conducting research and seeking participants, and those searching for a bibliography of studies that support public policy initiatives. This is your one-stop place for research around listening and spoken language development. 
We encourage you to post your research opportunities to our community! This is free and will help everyone benefit from a collaborative approach to ongoing research. Reach out to info@agbell.org with your research opportunity today.
