Overview

"As described in this volume, these major advances both in our understanding of central auditory processing disorder as well as in the neurobiology of the auditory system (and specifically how these are both affected by experience dependent learning) have been integrated into novel intervention strategies for children as well as aging adults with auditory processing disorders."
- From the foreword by Paula Tallal, Ph.D.

Volume II covers rehabilitative and professional issues, detailing practical intervention strategies for children and adults. The chapters in this volume cover auditory neuroscience and acoustic foundations of intervention, evidence-based practice, multidisciplinary approaches, and emerging and future directions in intervention.

Reviews

• Linda Jacobs-Condit, AuD., George Washington University:
  "This book provides a thorough discussion of interventions for (Central) Auditory Processing Disorders....This is an excellent resource for practicing clinicians as well as researchers and graduate students in the field of audiology. It effectively incorporates the foundations and management of (C)APD and includes a thoughtful discussion of future directions in intervention for children and adults with (C)APD."
