The initial assessments will take approximately 1 to 3 hours to complete depending on the skills of the child. Assessments for children who have just received an implant will be repeated 3 to 4 times over a 3-year period. These assessments should each take less than 1 to 2 hours. Assessments for children who have had an implant for a while, will be repeated 1 to 2 times over the course of the project.
