Gans D. 1989. Improving Auditory Testing of Multihandicapped Children [Final report]. Kent, OH: Kent State University , 223 pp.

Annotation: This project's goals were to evaluate and improve the auditory testing techniques used with severely and profoundly multihandicapped (S/PMH) children, and longitudinally investigate the auditory development of S/PMH children. Evidence was found that indicated the traditional methods and interpretive techniques used in testing the hearing of S/PMH children should be modified to best serve this population. The popular method of testing, as used with nonhandicapped infants and young children, requires modifications in the way the tests are performed and in the way results are interpreted when applied to S/PMH individuals.
