Assessing Listening and Spoken Language in Children with Hearing Loss is a comprehensive guide to assessments for professionals who provide intervention to infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children with hearing loss. The combined knowledge of the editors--an audiologist and a speech-language pathologist, both with 20 years of experience working with children with hearing loss and their families as well as extensive publications and presentations on the topic--brings valuable insights, experience, and research to this text.

This text provides information on assessing the whole child, what measures to consider, and how to communicate the findings. It is the distinct source for practical information on how to develop a test protocol, select appropriate tests, ensure a comprehensive assessment, and integrate the findings into an appropriate treatment plan.

As a unique resource that focuses on a relevant topic in today's accountability culture, this text will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students in deaf education and communication sciences and disorders; practicing professionals such as speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and psychologists; professionals studying for advanced certifications; as well as teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing, professors of aural (re)habilitation, special educators, school administrators, and early intervention service coordinators.
