A material comprising a book and an illustrative DVD to guide speech therapists, was compiled. Seventeen female speech therapists, responsible for the aurioral therapy of 17 implanted children, received this guiding material and utilized it for a six-month period, during which they assessed both the material and the children who underwent periodical evaluations as for the development of hearing abilities, at the Audiological Research Center (CPA) with the Craniofacial Anomalies Rehabilitation Hospital (HRAC) of the São Paulo University (USP). All children progressed in terms of hearing and language, as assessed by the Development Integrated Scales and IT-MAIS questionnaire All, but one, progressed as for Hearing Categories. All strategies used were regarded as quite good or excellent as for the easy understanding and access to the material suggested. The easy execution and motivation of the child, as strategies were performed, tended to improve according to their sequential utilization. The accomplishment of goals set in the strategies was directly influenced by the easy execution and motivation of the child. It was concluded that the aurioral speech therapy with therapeutic strategies elaborated out of ludic activities suitable for the child´s cognitive development, contributed to the development of hearing and language skills, in a six-month intervention period.
