“…Over the past 30 years, surprising technological and scientific advances have given children with hearing impairment access to speech sounds at a time favorable to their language development (Wake & Carew, 2016;Bornstein, 2018). Even so, due to the variables involved in the (re)habilitation process -such as: age at diagnosis, cause and degree of hearing impairment, time of use of hearing aid devices, family involvement in the therapeutic process (Bicas, Guijo, & Delgado-Pinheiro, 2017;Moret, 2017;Oliveira, Penna, & Lemos, 2015;Penna, Lemos, & Alves, 2015;Tabaquim et al, 2013;Vasconcelos & Pereira, 2015), among other factors -, hearing impaired children have a disadvantage in relation to hearing children in terms of phonological processing and are, therefore, a risk population for the acquisition of the ability to read (Goldberg & Lederberg, 2015;Lederberg, Schick, & Spencer, 2013;Naveka von Mentzer et al, 2013;Werfel, Douglas, & Ackal, 2016).…”
