Auditory Disorders in the Classroom: A Guide for Speech Language Pathologists, Audiologists and Educators
Gertner, Alan
Charles C. Thomas, Publisher, Ltd
This book will provide school personnel with functional information and the necessary academic tools to manage the instructional needs of children with auditory disorders -- either peripheral hearing loss or auditory processing disorders. Treatment strategies to help mitigate the detrimental effects of hearing disorders in the classroom are explored, including the classroom conditions and barriers that impact children. The book emphasizes the responsibility of educational personnel to recognize and identify the presence of an auditory deficit. Signature topics include: (1) classroom acoustics and the negative impact of noise, reverberation, and the signal to noise ratio; (2) language development and hearing loss with an overview of the general trajectory of speech and language development; (3) the importance of a team approach for aiding deaf and hard of hearing children, including independent function, work, community contributions and support groups; (4) auditory processing disorders and the assessment of APD, intervention within environmental/classroom modifications, teacher modifications, direct therapeutic intervention and neuroauditory training; (5) the psychology of hearing loss in children and adolescents plus early detection of emotional issues that co-exists and impacts school performance; and (6) educational law including an overview of Section 504, the IDEA, and the implementation of either the 504 Plan or the IEP, and the knowledge that all children with disabilities are entitled to a FAPE. The strategies and discussions in this comprehensive resource will be of special interest to speech language pathologists, educational audiologists, teachers for children with hearing loss, and early intervention service providers and social workers.
