Review<\/h3>\n
\n

\u00ab<\/span>Auditory-Verbal Therapy: Science, Research and Practice\u00a0provides valuable and updated knowledge on key aspects of the foundations of auditory-verbal-therapy, auditory development, the intervention, and the evidence behind it. Furthermore, the book highlights important discussions of the auditory-verbal approach including how to plan the intervention both in-situ and by tele practise, how to coach parents\/caregivers, how to work diagnostically by use of on-going assessment and monitoring of the child s development. It is appreciated that the book includes discussions of all types of clinical challenges such as children with ANSD, single-sided deafness, soft failure of internal electrodes for children with cochlear implants and not least addresses issues regarding children with additional needs. These areas are important to highlight and discuss as they are understudied in the international literature. This book makes a substantial contribution in a highly warranted area.\u00bb<\/span>—Lone Percy-Smith, PhD, MA\u00a0<\/span>, Speech and Language Pathologist, Postdoc Dpt. ORL, H & N Surgery and Audiology, Center for Hearing and Balance, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen<\/p>\n

\u00abTogether, [this] massive work effectively summarizes auditory-verbal practice, highlights specific challenges to service providers that have hindered access to care for many in the past, and presents valuable solutions and examples. Any clinician or caregiver interested in the latest clinical and academic trends in auditory-verbal therapy should consult this resource.\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abCreated by three of the world leaders in Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT), this book is an expansive and collaborative global effort by expert practitioners in the field of AVT. A voluminous publication, it is a welcome and essential resource for current and aspiring AVT practitioners, as well as for professionals interested in, and associated with the care of deaf and hard of hearing children and their families, who are seeking a listening and spoken language outcome for their child.<\/span>
\nBy consulting with current practitioners via a global survey, the authors, have obtained up-to-date data about current practices and trends in the AVT field, and what key areas of need are evolving into the future. […]<\/span>
\nEarly career AVTs will welcome the comprehensive detailed and holistic coverage of assessment, lesson planning across all developmental domains, whilst experienced clinicians will find invaluable, the final section on extending AVT practice to children and families with additional and complex needs. One of the most valuable topics for clinical practice is how to provide and\/or modify AVT treatment plans for children with more complex hearing-related issues (including Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD), Cochlear Nerve Deficiency, Single-Sided Deafness, Cochlear implant device failures and congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV)), as well as for children with additional learning and\/ or developmental challenges that traditionally may not been considered as candidates for AVT. […]<\/span>
\nThis book is a valuable reference for anyone interested in and\/ or involved in the care of children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, including AVT therapists, allied health professionals, educators and families. It is highly recommended reading to all audiologists, especially those working with paediatric clients.\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n
