Educational Audiology Handbook is the gold standard text for school-based audiology in the field today. Providing blueprints for creating and maintaining high-quality programs and guidance to achieve full integration into a school staff, this text offers a roadmap for school-based audiology. Within this resource, you will find practice tools such as assessments, parent handouts, and legal and reference documents for the audiologist whose practice includes children.

New to the Second Edition

Every chapter has been updated to reflect current research, technology, and legislation affecting the practice of educational audiology.
Four new chapters covering classroom acoustics, counseling, early intervention, and education of the deaf and hard of hearing.
Unique combination of topics not typically discussed in traditional pediatric audiology textbooks, including: amplification, FM amplification applications, functional hearing assessments, and central auditory processing.
Extensive appendices contain legal and reference documents, forms, test protocols, handouts, and other materials pertinent for every audiologist whose practice includes children.
