Abstract

© The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.This paper aims to provide information on deaf children with additional disabilities. There has been an increasing focus on deaf children with additional disabilities over the last decade, especially on cochlear implantation patients. Improvements after the cochlear implantation differ greatly. The improvement depends on the degree and the type of additional disabilities the deaf child has. In this paper, related research studies were summarized and discussed.
