Early Intervention Improves Outcome<br />

• Yoshinaga-Itano showed age of the diagnosis of<br />

HI was the only significant variable to affect<br />

the language skill of HI child.<br />

• Several prospective studies showed that the<br />

prognosis for intellectual, language and speech<br />

development in the HI child can be improved<br />

significantly when the diagnosis is made early<br />

and intervention begins before 6 month of age<br />
