The results of this study revealed the following: _ There were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group on the linguistic scale for cochlear implant children before and after the programme application.

_ There were statically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group scores in post measurement (after the programme application) on the linguistic scale for the cochlear implant children for the experimental group benefit.

_ There were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group on the social skills scale for cochlear implant children before and after the programme application in favor of the post application.
