This study aims to design a rehabilitative speech auditory program and to measure its effectiveness in language development in cochlear implanted children. The experimental method is used to achieve study purpose, applied on a sample of (20) cochlear implanted children divided into two groups (10) children as the control group and (10) as the experimental group, aged (3-6) year old. Given the study hypotheses, the researcher used the statistical methods, Chi Square Test, T. Test and Wilcoxcon Test. Results demonstrate the efficacy of the prepared program, indicating significant statistical differences in pre/post measurement after application of the program, in favor of the post measurement. There are also significant statistical differences between the control and the experimental group regarding the post-measurement, in favor of the experimental group.
