Book SynopsisThe age at which children are receiving cochlear implants has dropped dramatically; some children now undergo surgery when less than 12 months old. Considerable feedback is required from the patient in order to set the device optimally. This can be difficult in very young children, who may be unable to provide any behavioral information. It is therefore vital that objective measures are available in order to evaluate the device and auditory system function, set the programming parameters, and even assess performance.This book covers cochlear implant objective measures used before, during and after surgery. It provides a handbook for clinicians detailing the many techniques currently used, including telemetry, averaged electrode voltages, and electrically-evoked stapedial reflexes, auditory brainstem responses, compound action potentials, middle, late and event-related potentials. The internationally respected chapter authors from Europe and the USA provide coverage of the objective measures used in several commercially available cochlear implant devices.This book is required reading for clinicians in cochlear implant centers, researchers and those in the commercial implant field worldwide.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisThis book reviews published research concerning outcomes for deaf children with cochlear implants. The publications selected for review meet certain criteria - they were all published in English, they were published since 1994, and the number of children included in each study was at least 12. A thorough literature search was carried out yielding about 200 articles meeting these criteria. Paediatric Cochlear Implants considers a range of outcomes including use of audition by children, the development of language and quality of life. Advances in cochlear implantation that affect outcomes are also discussed. The book offers critical summaries of relevant papers and an account of the conclusions of the research to date, highlights topics that have received less attention and suggests a framework for considering outcomes. It evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of current research with suggestion for possible future developments. This book will be of interest to all professionals and researchers concerned with deaf children, to parents of deaf children and to purchasers of healthcare services.Table of ContentsAcknowledgement.

Book SynopsisThis book addresses the impact of genetic deafness/hearing impairment on people' s lives and those around them. It includes the perspectives of those who are deaf or hard of hearing as well as those working in the field. Professional topics include genetic counselling, social science, psychology, social work and - within medicine - audiological and ENT medical and audiological paediatrics. These practitioners are both hearing and hearing impaired. The impact of deafness on children, those of working age and elderly people is discussed highlighting the specific effect of genetic factors. In particular there are chapters on deafblindness and otosclerosis and NF2 (a potentially lethal condition). The Who definitions and ICF are used as a framework for considering the effect on people' s lives of impairment and their participation in society. This provides a bridge between the medical and social models of disability. Contributors write from both their professional and personal experience in order to try and address some of the issues raised by the real impact of genetic deafness on everyday life and how these can best be tackled by those working in the field.Trade Review"...this thought-provoking book provides a comprehensive review of the literature..."

Book SynopsisRita Brehm stellt neue Methoden zur Stabilisierung der Sprechwahrnehmung von Schülern vor – wie das „Handlautieren“ oder das „Silbenkonstruieren“ – und erläutert, wie das Silbentrennen, Abschreiben, Diktieren oder Lesen methodisch effizienter zu gestalten ist. Sie zeigt, dass im Zeitalter der Inklusion phonetisch-phonologische Methoden aus der Sprachtherapie zunehmend Eingang in die schulische Förderung gefunden haben. Zur wirksamen Bekämpfung von Lese- und Rechtschreibstörungen benötigt man effiziente Lernmethoden auf der Grundlage wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse. Ziel dabei ist, über die Festigung der phonologischen Bewusstheit mit dem eigenen Sprechen gleichermaßen das Lesen und Schreiben anzubahnen und zu festigen. Darüber hinaus erklärt die Autorin, wie das Abschreiben effektiver wird, warum Kurzdiktate unverzichtbar sind und wie Schüler zum beständigen Lesen motiviert werden können.Trade Review“... Der Leser bekommt zunächst einen Einblick in die wichtigsten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse über phonetisch-phonologische Aspekte gesprochener Sprache sowie deren Auswirkungen auf die schriftliche Sprache. ... ein aufschlussreiches, gut verständliches und empfehlenswertes Kurz-Buch für alle, die sich für Lese-Rechtschreibstörungen interessieren und mehr über die Grundlagen sowie den Einsatz wirkungsvoller Methoden bei der Behandlung erfahren möchten.” (Sandra Fuchs, in: Psychologie FoxBlog, sanfuchs1979.wordpress.com, 12.

Book SynopsisDieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung, Pilotierung und Evaluation eines theoriegeleiteten Steigerungssystems für den Erwerb der Verbzweitstellung bei spracherwerbsauffälligen Kindern auf der Grundlage des DYSTEL-Konzeptes. In zwei empirischen Studien analysiert die Autorin mittels einer Befragung von Sprachtherapeutinnen den Status quo der Anforderungen an das Kind in syntaktischen Therapien. Auf der Grundlage des Emergenz- und Finitheitsmodells leitet sie entwicklungsorientierte und strukturelle Kriterien für eine frühe produktive Erprobungsphase ab. Der Vorschlag zur Steigerung des Niveaus in Verbzweittherapien unterscheidet sich mit seiner Ausrichtung am entwicklungsdynamischen Fähigkeitsprofil der Kinder von den aktuell in der Praxis zugrunde gelegten Maßstäben und belegt in Prä-Post-Testvergleichen, dass das Konzept des Steigerns nach qualitativen Kriterien sinnvoll und erfolgreich ist.Trade Review“... Am Anfang des Buches werden Grundlagen der grammatischen Entwicklung, der bisherigen Forschungen und Therapieansätze auf eine sehr gut lesbare Weise beschrieben. … Optisch lässt das Buch eher einen sehr theoretischen und wissenschaftlichen Text vermuten und beim ersten Durchblättern fallen auch die Tabellen und Diagramme sehr ins Auge.

Book SynopsisSabine Degenkolb-Weyers beschäftigt sich mit der Implementierung einer Resilienzentwicklung in Fachberufen des Gesundheitswesens. Ziel ist eine Erhöhung der psychischen Widerstandsfähigkeit der Auszubildenden, um den Ansprüchen in der therapeutischen Rolle gerecht zu werden. Studierende werden während der fachpraktischen Ausbildung in therapeutischen Gesundheitsfachberufen als Novizen in der Therapie mit eigenen Unsicherheiten in Lernkrisen und Stresssituationen konfrontiert und mit Krisen von Patienten in Kontakt kommen. Die Autorin untersucht die Frage, warum es den einen Studierenden gelingt, gestärkt aus diesen Problemsituationen herauszugehen, und warum andere psychisch oder physisch krank werden und das Studium abbrechen. Sie stellt dabei die besonderen Anforderungen und Kompetenzen in den therapeutischen Gesundheitsfachberufen dar und entwickelt Konzepte, die Vermittlung beruflicher Handlungs- und Resilienzkompetenz zu realisieren. Diese Konzepte sollten in Ausbildung sowie Studiengängen in den Gesundheitsberufen integriert werden.Trade Review“… ist eine Fundgruppe an wichtigen Quellen. … kann dieser hervorragenden Arbeit, aber auch der realen Implementierung des Resilienzkonzepts nur eine große Verbreitung wünschen, denn neben der methodisch-inhaltlichen Kompetenz der logopädischen Tätigkeit ist die Auseinandersetzung mit den eigenen Ressourcen von zentraler Bedeutung für ein nachhaltig erfülltes Berufsleben der tätigen Sprachtherapeuten.” (Peter Dicks, in: Forum Logopädie, Jg. 31, Heft 2, März 2017)Table of ContentsTherapeutische Kompetenz in Gesundheitsfachberufen.- Erwachsenenpädagogische Interventionen.- Theorie – Praxistransfer: Konzept zur Resilienzförderung im Studium.

Book SynopsisJulia Waage entwickelt ein Interview für Kinder ab vier Jahren mit Frühförderung, das deren Teilhabesituation und -wünsche erfasst. Grundlage bildet die ICF-CY (WHO 2007, deutsche Übersetzung: DIMDI 2011), genauer die „ICF-CY-Checkliste fur das Kindes- und Jugendalter (3-6)“ der Deutschen interdisziplinären Arbeitsgruppe zur ICF-Adaptation für den Kinder- und Jugendbereich (2012). Eine Erhebung der kindlichen Teilhabe im Sinne der ICF-Philosophie verlangt nach dem direkten Einbezug des Kindes. Das Interview wird an drei fünf Jahre alten Jungen mit Frühförderung erprobt. Die Kinder beantworten die Interviewfragen jeweils mehrheitlich adäquat, was für die Fragenverständlichkeit und den Einsatz von Interviews zur Erfassung der Partizipation in diesem Bereich spricht.Table of ContentsDer Teilhabebegriff in der ICF und der ICF-CY.- Erhebung der Teilhabe bei Vorschulkindern.- Gestaltungshinweise von Interviews bei Vorschulkindern.- Interviewentwicklung.- Anwendung des Interviews und Ergebnisse.

Book SynopsisAntje Krüger zeigt, dass neben der Aneignung fachlichen Wissens eine Erweiterung der Ausbildung um die Entwicklung der emotionalen Kompetenz erforderlich ist. Die Autorin stellt fest, dass Kompetenzentwicklung gelingen kann, wenn Wechselbeziehungen und Kommunikation zwischen den Lernenden untereinander und zwischen Lernenden und Lehrenden möglich sind. Im zweiten Teil legt die Autorin dar, dass die Ausbildungssupervision ein Instrumentarium ist, das sich durch die gezielte und gesteuerte Verzahnung von Theorie und Praxis auszeichnet. Dadurch wird reflexives Handeln ermöglicht, neue Perspektiven werden aufgezeigt. Die Ausbildungssupervision unterstützt und regt die klinisch-praktische Kompetenzentwicklung an. Sie bietet eine individuelle, persönlichkeits- und entwicklungsorientierte Begleitung im Professionalisierungs- und Rollenfindungsprozess werdender Logopädinnen und Logopäden. Trade Review“... die verschiedenen Begriffe und ihre Zusammenhänge gut erläutert, sodass das noch relativ junge Themengebiet der Kompetenzen und ihrer Entwicklung auch für Leser, die in diesem Bereich noch unerfahren sind, verständlich und nachvollziehbar dargestellt werden ...” (Sarah Gerding, in: Forum Logopädie, Jg. 31, Heft 5, September 2017)Table of ContentsGrundlagen der Logopädieausbildung.- Kompetenzentwicklung und Supervision in der klinisch-praktischen Logopädieausbildung.- Theorie-Praxistransfer – die Ausbildungssupervision.

Book SynopsisThe common cavity deformity (CCD) of the inner ear is characterized by cochlea and vestibule forming a single cavity. It indicates cochlear implantation (CI) and about 15% to 25% of inner ear malformation. However, complications such as facial nerve injury, penetration of the electrode array into the internal auditory canal (IAC) and electrode displacement are common, leading to unsatisfied outcomes. This book describes the embryology of CCD, preoperative auditory, balance and vestibular evaluation, and electrophysiology and radiology aspect for CCD. In addition, the surgical technique and CI outcomes will be focused. The electrode array design is also a highlight for CCD surgery, and will be discussed in details. Last but not least, the balance and vestibular function research of CCD patients before and after surgery is also thoroughly reviewed. It will be a good reference for otologist and practitioners in related field to understand more about CCD.Table of ContentsEmbryology of Inner Ear Malformation Types and Radiologic Relevance.- Preoperative Auditory Evaluation of Patients with Common Cavity Deformity.- Radiology of Common Cavity Deformity.- Electrode Array Design in Common Cavity Deformity.- Cochlear Implantation Technique for Common Cavity Deformity.- Complications management of Common Cavity Deformity Surgery.- Outcomes of Common Cavity Deformity after Cochlear Implantation.- Vestibular Function of Patients with Common Cavity Deformity.

Book SynopsisThe Sense of Hearing is a highly accessible introduction to auditory perception, addressing the fundamental aspects of hearing. This fourth edition has been revised to include up-to-date research and references. In particular, Chapter 7 on Pitch and Periodicity Coding and Chapter 13 on Hearing Loss include new material to reflect the fast pace of research in these areas. The book introduces the nature of sound and the spectrum, and the anatomy and physiology of the auditory system, before discussing basic auditory processes such as frequency selectivity, loudness and pitch perception, temporal resolution, and sound localization. Subsequent chapters show how complex processes such as perceptual organization, speech perception, and music perception are dependent on the initial analysis that occurs when sounds enter the ear. The book concludes with a description of the physiological bases and perceptual consequences of hearing loss, as well as the latest diagnostic techniques and management options that are available.Featuring student-friendly resources, including an overview of research techniques, an extensive glossary of technical terms, and over 150 original illustrations, The Sense of Hearing offers a clear introduction and an essential resource for students in the fields of audiology and sound perception.Trade Review'I am delighted to recommend the fourth edition of The Sense of Hearing.
