Auditory Processing Disorders: Assessment, Management, and Treatment, Third Edition

What you’ll find inside

Auditory Processing Disorders: Assessment, Management, and Treatment, Third Edition, edited by Donna Geffner and Deborah Ross-Swain, brings together material on identifying, assessing and supporting people with auditory processing disorders. Plural Publishing describes the book as a practical reference for audiologists and speech-language pathologists, with relevance to clinicians, instructors, advanced students and readers seeking a research-informed overview of the field.

Three connected areas of practice

The contents are arranged around identification and assessment, management, and evidence-based treatment and intervention programs. Chapters address how auditory processing disorders are defined and described, assessment of auditory processing, the relationship between listening and language, literacy, and related neuropsychological or neurological factors. The book also examines management strategies, assistive listening technology and intervention approaches. This structure helps readers follow the path from understanding a concern to considering evaluation and possible supports, while recognizing that assessment and treatment choices depend on the individual and professional context.

For clinicians, students and educators

Practicing audiologists and speech-language pathologists can consult it for a broad overview of the topic, while upper-level students can use it alongside coursework in audiology, communication sciences or speech-language pathology. Teachers and families may find explanatory material helpful when learning about listening-related challenges, although clinical interpretation belongs with appropriately qualified professionals. The third edition includes a global perspective and updates to assessment, treatment and technology topics, according to the publisher.
