This update of the 2007 edition incorporates new findings on central auditory processing disorders (CADP). Geffner (speech-language pathology and audiology, St. John's U., New York) and Ross-Swain (Swain Center for Listening, Communicating and Learning; formerly, U. of California-Davis Medical Center) introduce the work of researchers and clinicians to assist professionals to make better assessment, diagnosis, and intervention decisions. International contributors discuss current issues in the field (e.g., whether CAPD should be considered an auditory deficit or a general developmental or cognitive disorder) in conceptual, historical, clinical, legal, educational, and computer-assisted training contexts. The book includes case studies, study questions with an answer key, web references and resources, and tips for parents and teachers. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
