Ready Set Remember: Short-term Auditory Memory Activities
Ready Set Remember' is a rich resource of information and activities for teachers with students who may have auditory processing difficulties. In order to listen well, a child must have adequate hearing, intact auditory processing skills and an 'active listening' mindset. This book helps teachers identify children with auditory difficulties in the age-range 5-8 before referring them to an appropriate health professional. When the child returns to the classroom, 'Ready Set Remember' then provides strategies and activities to encourage children's confidence and improve the ability to efficiently and effectively remember auditory information by practising listening and sequencing tasks.
Acoustic and Auditory Phonetics provides an accessible yet rigorous introduction to basic acoustics, audition, signal processing, and the acoustic theory of speech production.

Most other textbooks on Hearing are focused on either the periphery or the central nervous system and rarely integrate anatomy and physiology with clinical issues.
Communication Issues in Autism and Asperger Syndrome
Providing a theoretical foundation for understanding communication and language impairments specific to autism, Olga Bogdashina explores the effects of different perceptual and cognitive styles on the communication and language development of autistic children. She stresses the importance of identifying each autistic individual's nonverbal language - which can be visual, tactile, kinaesthetic, auditory, olfactory or gustatory - with a view to establish a shared means of verbal communication.
