The aim was to determine the perceptions o f parents/caregivers o f children with cochlear implants in the PCIP o f the children's outcomes, and to collate relevant data pertaining to 45 children and their families. Results indicated that several key factors played a role in determining a positive outcome in the children's audiological, linguistic, social and educational functioning leading to placement in an inclusive educational setting. The most important indicators were: early age at diagnosis, early intervention with hearing aids and early cochlear implantation. The importance o f early intervention is em phasized. The study was a first attempt to document the outcomes o f the PCIP, indicating a need to establish a computer database to store data o f all clients, which can be usedfor research and regular programme audits.
