Parental involvement and communication are essential for language development in young children. However, hearing parents of deaf children face challenges in providing language input to their children. This study utilized the largest national sample of deaf children receiving cochlear implants, with the aim of identifying effective facilitative language techniques. Ninety-three deaf children (≤ 2 years) were assessed at six implant centers prior to and for three years following implantation. All parent-child interactions were videotaped, transcribed and coded at each assessment. Analyses using bivariate latent difference score modeling indicated that higher versus lower-level strategies predicted growth in expressive language and word types predicted growth in receptive language over time. These effective, higher-level strategies could be used in early intervention programs.
