Synopsis

This graduate-level textbook and reference for practicing clinicians offers a comprehensive and practical framework for providing auditory-based Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) therapy to children with hearing loss. Grounded in research and shaped by classroom and clinical experience, the book equips professionals with the strategies, developmental models, and family-centered tools needed to guide children from their first responses to sound through advanced communication skills. The framework is applicable across the disciplines of speech-language pathology, audiology, and deaf education, as well as a wide range of therapy settings, including university clinics, private practice, and schools.

The second edition of Listening and Spoken Language Therapy for Children with Hearing Loss integrates new research, updated clinical instruments, and enhanced resources to support both teaching and practice.
