Main description:

The Video-Based Aural Rehabilitation Guide is the first book of its kind to intertwine chapter text with over 200 closed captioned videos. This unique resource is intended to educate undergraduate and graduate students in speech-language pathology, audiology, and education of the deaf and hard of hearing, as well as enhance the knowledge and skills of practicing professionals.

The extensive videos are an invaluable resource for students enrolled in a clinical or student teaching practicum. Videos feature speech-language pathologists, audiologists, Listening and Spoken Language Specialists, teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing, early interventionists, otologists, and occupational therapists practicing in settings such as clinics, private practices, schools, hospitals, and the community. Topics addressed in the text and videos include hearing technologies, aural rehabilitation procedures, factors that affect intervention outcomes, fundamentals of assessment, supports for education, counseling for children and adults with hearing loss, and the psychosocial well-being of persons with hearing loss and their families.

The Video-Based Aural Rehabilitation Guide can be used as a stand-alone text or as a companion alongside the most commonly used aural rehabilitation textbooks.

Key Features:
Over 200 videos with closed captions accessible on a companion site
Contributions from 14 leading experts
Chapters with concise summaries, recommended resources for further learning, and study questions with answer keys
