"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"--

Early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) is the gold standard for any practising audiologist, and for families of infants and children with hearing impairment. Yet EHDI remains a significant challenge for Africa, and various initiatives are in place to address this gap in transferring policy into practice within the southern African context. Early Detection and Intervention in Audiology: An African Perspective aims to address the diversity of factors in southern Africa that presents unique challenges to teaching and research in this field. The South African government’s heightened focus on increasing access to health care, which includes ongoing Early Childhood Development (ECD) programmes, makes this an opportune time for establishing and documenting evidence-based research for current undergraduate and postgraduate students. Detailed case studies pay careful attention to contextual relevance and responsiveness to both identification and intervention in hearing impairment. With diverse contributions from local and international experts, but always with an African perspective, this textbook will be an essential resource for students, researchers and practitioners.
