I needed this book for a college class and bought it from Amazon since my college bookstore was out. It is a bit dated (and I hear that the new edition will be coming soon), but the material is good. I especially like having the pediatric word lists in the indexes so I can use them for MLV testing right away. I did not buy the supplemental disc because everything on the disc is included in print form in the indexes. This book was "new" and was wrapped in plastic, but the cover had some discolored spots. I just wish I hadn't had to spend this much for a book that is more than a decade out of date, but until it is revised, it's the only one for the subject matter and it's quite good in most areas.

For any educational audiologist who works in the schools, this is an invaluable resource. This will also benefit the clinical audiologist who works with children.

The information displayed regarding the 2nd edition of the Educational Audiology Handbook is misleading. When you order the text you will receive the 2nd edition (June 2011) as well as the accompanying CD of forms, protocols, and other documents. When you click to open the book it currently reverts back to the 1st edtion and its contents- you will need to ignore this out-dated information. The 2nd edition includes 4 additional chapters as well as updated and new appendices. Also, do not order the CD that is listed as it went with the 1st edition and is now out of date. The publisher has asked Amazon to correct these issues.

The Educational Audiology Handbook, 2nd Edition offers up to date information about serving children with hearing loss in the schools. Just as the first edition of this book was an absolute "necessity" for Educational and Pediatric Audiologists....the second edition is the Updated Essential for your professional practice library. This book offers comprehensive educational audiology practices and practical tools and handouts. The CD which is included offers documents, forms, and handouts that can be customized and printed for all of your professional needs.

This Amazon listing is misleading as it reverts back to the 1rst edition when you click on "view inside cover and inside contents of the book". It also lists the CD as separate from the book. This was true for the first edition; however, the second edition of this book comes with the CD! A couple of the reviews on Amazon are also commenting on the first edition, not the 2nd Edition.
