Here is some clarification about what your school district is and is not responsible for, as determined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. While there are devices that should be provided by the school district to children with haring loss, Cochlear implants are not covered. Be that as it may, the district is responsible for making sure that a student's implant has functioning batteries, is turned on and is operating properly. There are also other services that students with Cochlear implants might be eligible for such as speech therapy. If your student has an IEP, this page will help you determine which service you might discuss with the education professionals.
