Elizabeth B. Cole, EdD, is the director of Soundbridge, a program of the Capitol Region Education Council in Connecticut. Soundbridge is a statewide public school program that provides a wide variety of services to more than 700 children (birth through secondary school) whose parents want their children with hearing loss to use spoken language to communicate and learn.Carol Flexer, PhD, received her doctorate in audiology from Kent State University in 1982. She was a distinguished professor of audiology in the School of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology at the University of Akron for 25 years. Her special areas of expertise include pediatric and educational audiology. Dr. Flexer continues to lecture extensively nationally and internationally about pediatric audiology issues, and has authored more than 155 publications.
Each chapter features small anecdotal inserts or sketched-style images which help break down the science. The book recognises the changes that have occurred in audiology following the advent of universal newborn hearing screening. Furthermore, it recognises that while outcomes for children with hearing impairments are improving, professionals still have a changing landscape ahead of them - this book is a useful reference point.--James Harrison, Clinical Lead Paediatric Audiology, Sherwood Forest Hospitals Trust UK
