This practical textbook is based on a proven spoken language, speech, and listening model for teaching children with hearing loss, that uses a stage-based model with clear steps for intervention.
Listening and Spoken Language Therapy for Children With Hearing Loss: A Practical Auditory-Based Guide is a well-organized and practical textbook based on a proven spoken language, speech, and listening model for teaching children with hearing loss. Supported by decades of research and experience, the stage-based model is presented with clear steps for intervention. Written in easy-to-understand language, this textbook is accessible to university students who are new to the field of hearing loss, as well as to new and experienced professionals. It is a highly applicable tool for providing auditory-based therapy which supports professionals to empower parents and caregivers.

The stages emphasized in this textbook are developmental in nature, starting with the prelinguistic level and ending with advanced communication. Unlike the traditional age approach, this unique system can address any child regardless of age intervention. Operating based on the understanding that language is acquired through meaningful social interaction, the "stages not ages" system can be used for late starters, English learners, and children with additional disabilities.

Key Features
A color-coding system for the model and a consistent presentation of content and tables provide clarity and a streamlined experience
A comprehensive case study for each stage puts the approach into context
Easy-to-use resources, in the form of tables and handouts for parents, give professionals ready-made tools for working with families
Explanations of proven strategies, including speech acoustics applications, Rainbow audiogram, e=mc2, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) theory, cookie dough theory, three-act play, and the dangling carrot
A deep conversation about the role of culture provides a uniting thread throughout the text
A PluralPlus companion website with PowerPoint lecture slides and exams for instructors and videos, handouts, learning activities, and discussion questions for students and professionals
