Product Description
Because there is no single approach to the management of Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD), this new book offers the latest available information on a variety of compatible approaches. It is based on the 1996 conference of the same title that was hosted by the State University of New York at Buffalo (where the co-authors are based). Each chapter is by a different authoritative contributor-a professional in audiology, speech-language pathology, or psychology. The book contains both technical details and practical, straightforward information to enable people to make proper and useful recommendations for those with CAPD. Features include: Coverage of metacognitive and metalinguistic approaches, memory and attention processing deficits, the use of FM devices for audiologic management, and a speech-language approach; detailed explanation of the management strategies suggested in the Buffalo Model; Innovative approaches and management techniques for special populationsInformation on auditory integration therapy for children, and a new interactive software program that strengthens temporal processing. Audiologists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, special-education teachers, and even parents. A Longwood Professional Book. |

CAP Ripoff by Steven Reichenbach  1 Stars
September 03, 2006
Overpriced short book with decent references. Overall weak in subject depth - cursory and did I mentioned way overpriced. It's obscene to charge $60 for a superficial paperback that's required for coursework.
Disappointing

Central Auditory Processing Mostly Management by Susan S. Sessanna (hamburg, ny USA)  4 Stars
July 02, 2000
While this book is clinical in nature, it is very helpful to the lay person in understanding different types of auditory processing problems and what their effects are on individuals. There are many different types of graphs, plates, tables and figures which assist in understanding different types of behavior and management and some crossover to ADHD and why. The diagnosis is better understood along with the various auditory therapies available and necessary to assist in training a person deficient in certain processing areas. The authors do a good job in explaining the tests for CAPD and what the evaluation results are based on.There is also an excellent reference list after each particular section for further reading based upon these authors' research, etc. There are many strategies for success for individuals with CAPD; this book covers so many questions from the neuroscience to evaluation to the relationship to specific learning problems to treatment and management.
