AB  - BACKGROUND: Cochlear implanted (CI) children have problems in most aspects of 
      language and in particular with regards to grammar. Considering the lack of 
      studies in the field of grammar treatment in CI children and bearing in the mind 
      that CI children have the potential to develop language, the aim of the present 
      study was to investigate the effect of treating grammar in CI children using a 
      treatment grammar program. METHODOLOGY: first, the literature related to grammar 
      were reviewed so as to extract different grammatical components for developing 
      grammar treatment program and to make sentences for each element as well as to 
      compile a manual for its implementation. Second, the validity of the sentences 
      was examined using the Delphi method. Third, grammar treatment was performed on 
      five CI children. Persian Developmental Sentence Scoring(PDSS) and Mean Length of 
      Utterance(MLU) were used to evaluate them before and after treatment. RESULTS: 
      Five grammatical classes were extracted, and the grammatical elements were 
      classified in each category according to age. For all of the grammatical items, 
      2076 sentences were constructed. After applying the Delphi method, a total of 
      1936 sentences with Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W) of 71%, remained. 
      Using this program, grammar treatment was effective in all five children. The 
      PDSS and MLU increased in all five children during the treatment phase, which was 
      confirmed by Percentage of Non-overlapping Data (PND), Improvement Rate 
      Difference (IRD). During the follow-up period, the children showed that they were 
      able to maintain the trained components. CONCLUSION: Cochlear implants have the 
      potential to learn language skills, and the present study confirms their ability 
      to learn grammar, using a comprehensive grammar treatment program.
