Publisher's Synopsis
The central auditory system is the next frontier for a number of disciplines. For some time, scientists have attempted to explain most auditory difficulties at the periphery. However, there is a growing awareness by audiologists, speech therapists, psychologists, educators and neurologists that central auditory system integrity is crucial for a normal intellectual development and for a vareity of learning and communicative skills. This book reviews the current status of knowledge on central auditory processing from the standpoint of various disciplines and provides a scientific rationale for the diagnosis and management of auditory processing problems.
