The aim of the current study was to investigate and compare the verbal and non-verbal communication abilities in two groups of deaf children: without cochlear implant (CI), and children using CI for 12-24 months. The results were then compared with typically-developing children as the control group.<br> <strong>Methods:</strong> 87 children participated in this cross-sectional, descriptive analytical study, (14 deaf children without CI, 25 children with CI that their hearing ages were 12 to 24 months and 48 normal children aged 12 to 24 months). A reliable verbal and non-verbal checklist was completed by parents and nonparametric method was used for data analyzing.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br> <strong>Results:</strong> The results indicated that non-verbal communication skills were similar in all groups with no significant difference (P>0.05). However, verbal abilities in deaf children without CI were significantly impaired compared to the children with CI and control group (P<0.05). Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the verbal communication scores of children with CI and normal children (P>0.05).&nbsp;<br> <strong>Conclusion:</strong> It can be expected that deaf children who receive CI, will reach the verbal communication abilities of 12-24-month-old typically children, at least 12 to 24 months post-implantation&nbsp;<br> &nbsp;</span></div> Non-Verbal and verbal communication, Deaf children, Cochlear implantation, Typically-Developing children 1 7 http://fdj.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-27-11&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Nahid Jalilevand ناهید جلیله وند jalilevand.n@iums.ac.ir 10031947532846001112 10031947532846001112 Yes PhD, Department of Speech Therapy, School of Rehabilitation Sciences, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran دکتری آسیب‌شناس گفتار‌وزبان، گروه آسیب‌شناسی گفتار‌وزبان، دانشکدۀ علوم توانبخشی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی ایران، تهران، ایران Mona Ebrahimipour مونا ابراهیمی پور 10031947532846001113 10031947532846001113 No PhD, Department of Speech Therapy, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran دکتری آسیب‌شناس گفتار‌وزبان، گروه گفتاردرمانی، دانشگاه علوم بهزیستی و توانبخشی، تهران، ایران Masoud Motasaddi Zarandi مسعود متصدی زرندی 10031947532846001114 10031947532846001114 No PhD, .Department of Otolaryngology, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran دکتری گوش‌و‌حلق‌و‌بینی، گروه گوش‌و‌حنجره، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تهران، تهران، ایران Mohamad Kamali محمد کمالی 10031947532846001115 10031947532846001115 No PhD , Department of Rehabilitation Management, School of Rehabilitation Sciences, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran دکتری آموزش بهداشت ، گروه مدیریت توانبخشی، دانشکده علوم توانبخشی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی ایران، تهران، ایران Leyla Fayazi لیلا فیاضی 10031947532846001116 10031947532846001116 No PhD Student in Linguistics, Department of Speech & Language Pathology, Special Education Organization, Tehran, Iran دانشجوی دکتری زبان‌شناسی، آسیب‌شناس گفتار‌وزبان، سازمان آموزش استثنایی، تهران، ایران
