Auditory Processing Disorders: Assessment, Management, and Treatment, 4th Edition (PDF)

By Donna Geffner, Deborah Ross-Swain
With eight new chapters and many other updates, Auditory Processing Disorders: Assessment, Management, and Treatment, Fourth Edition details the definition, behaviors, and comorbidities of auditory processing disorders (APD) while educating the reader on the most current global practices for assessment of APD, including its impact on literacy and language processing. Practical rehabilitation, management strategies, and direct evidence-based treatment programs, including the use of technology, are covered in detail. The text is a highly practical book designed specifically for practicing clinicians, instructors, and students, in both both audiology and speech-language pathology. It contains a comprehensive review of APD and is also an excellent resource for parents, teachers, and other professionals wishing to learn more about APD for themselves, their child, and their practice.
