Foundations of Spoken Language for
Hearing-Impaired Children

ABOUT THE BOOK
This text emphasizes the perception of speech through residual hearing, either through the use of hearing aids or cochlear implants. An important feature of the book is the presentation of the aspects of speech that appear in the octave bands centered on frequencies depicted in audiograms. This knowledge, in conjunction with The Six-Sound Test, enables teachers and clinicians to determine whether the frequency response characteristics of hearing aids are adjusted to provide optimal levels of hearing. The text also provides an in-depth discussion of teaching and learning and covers the bases of The Ling System of Speech Development. Sample questions for students also included.

AUDIENCE
