Auditory Disorders in the Classroom

Auditory Disorders in the Classroom: A Guide for Speech Language Pathologists, Audiologists and Educators, edited by Alan Gertner, is written for professionals who work with students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) or have auditory processing disorders (APD) and are educated in general education classrooms. Itinerant teachers of the deaf, general education teachers, educational audiologists, and speech-language pathologists will find the book helpful in meeting the listening and language needs of the increasing number of students who are DHH who receive all or a portion of their education in general education classrooms. These students use listening and spoken language (LSL) to communicate and do not sign. Although there are textbooks focused on the development of LSL for very young children with hearing loss and textbooks for itinerant teachers providing services to students in general education classrooms, Gertner ’s book is an excellent resource for educational team members who most likely lacked university preparation and in-depth clinical/teaching experience with deaf/hard of hearing students in general education classrooms.
