Reviews

The appendices are the most important feature of this book...they are user-friendly and I have seen them used in the school a great deal. I think the CD should be sold with the book. The tools contained in the CD are really excellent. This has been the single best resource in Educational Audiology that has ever been written. James Blair, Utah State University
