Dissemination Prior years. The CIEC disseminated information via the CIEC Web site, the CIEC brochure, and an e-document entitled Cochlear Implants: Navigating a Forest of Information…One Tree at a Time (a component of KidsWorld Deaf Net). Modules of this document have been modified as needed. The CIEC disseminated information via numerous professional training workshops on the topic, “Spoken language and sign: Optimizing learning for children with cochlear implants.” Numerous presentations were provided on educational considerations for children with cochlear implants to postsecondary students at Gallaudet University as well as at other university programs throughout the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and the United States. Initiatives of the CIEC were shared during numerous national conferences. During April 2002, the CIEC hosted a national conference entitled “Cochlear Implants and Sign Language: Putting It All Together.” The conference proceedings were disseminated via a Sharing Ideas paper of the same name and via the CIEC Web site. The online course, “Cochlear Implants and Children: Considerations for Implantation and Educational Planning,” was offered twice a year during the fall and spring semesters from fall 2002 though spring 2007.
