Handbook of Central Auditory Processing Disorder: Auditory Neuroscience and Diagnosis

Frank E. Musiek, PhD, is Professor and Director of Auditory Research in the Department of Communications Sciences, and Professor of Otolaryngology in the School of Medicine at the University of Connecticut. He is the 2007 Recipient of the James Jerger Career Award for research in Audiology, and recipient of the 2007 "Book of the Year Award" for his two-volume text, Handbook of Central Processing Disorder, co-edited with Gail Chermak. He has published over 140 refereed articles, 39 book chapters, and 8 books in the areas of auditory evoked potentials, central auditory disorders, and auditory neuroanatomy/physiology. Dr. Gail D. Chermak is professor and chair of the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences at Washington State University. She held the Washington State University College of Liberal Arts Edward R. Meyer Distinguished Professorship in 1999-2002 and she received the College's Distinguished Faculty Award in 2002. She holds the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology, and she is a fellow of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). She is included in several major American and international biographical listings. Funded by the Kellogg Foundation, the World Institute on Disability, and the Fulbright American Republics Research Program, she has traveled extensively, consulting with public and private agencies in the area of rehabilitation service delivery. She has chaired and served on a number of national professional committees and task forces, including the ASHA Work Group on Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), which recently completed a technical report and position statement. Presently, she serves on the AAA's CAPD Task Force. She is an assistant editor for the Journal of the American Academy of Audiology and she serves as editorial consultant for several other professional and scientific journals. She has published extensively and delivered numerous workshops, nationally and internationally, on differential diagnosis, assessment and rehabilitation of CAPD. Her co-authored articles and letters to the editor on CAPD and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were named by her peers as among the best in diagnostic audiology in four of the last five consecutive years. Her 1997 book, Central Auditory Processing Disorders: New Perspectives, co-authored with Frank Musiek, has become a landmark volume in the field.

"These books provide a wealth of evidence-based information to address the fact that, despite awareness of an auditory-specific perceptual disorder (APD or CAPD) in children and adults for more than 60 years, a consistent approach to diagnosis and treatment has yet to be determined. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Volume 1 provides information about the auditory neuroscience and clinical science needed for diagnosis; volume 2 details intervention strategies, rehabilitation and professional issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Both volumes emphasise the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving audiologists, SLTs, teachers, psychologists and physicians for assessment, differential diagnosis and intervention. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Case studies provide an invaluable insight for clinicians into how those with APD may present and provide a framework for assessment and intervention. Sharing relevant case studies with parents and carers could be a helpful way of offering support and hope in an area where I have found limited awareness as a clinician and parent." -- Fiona Ford, Specialist SLT, The Orchards Primary Academy, Birmingham, Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists
