Yet EHDI remains a significant challenge for Africa, and various initiatives are in place to address this gap in transferring policy into practice within the southern African context. Early Detection and Intervention in Audiology: An African Perspective aims to address the diversity of factors in southern Africa that presents unique challenges to teaching and research in this field. The South African government?s heightened focus on increasing access to health care, which includes ongoing Early Childhood Development (ECD) programmes, makes this an opportune time for establishing and documenting evidence-based research for current undergraduate and postgraduate students. Detailed case studies pay careful attention to contextual relevance and responsiveness to both identification and intervention in hearing impairment. With diverse contributions from local and international experts, but always with an African perspective, this textbook will be an essential resource for students, researchers and practitioners. 606 $aHearing disorders in children$xDiagnosis$zAfrica, Southern 606 $aHearing impaired children$xServices for$zAfrica, Southern 615 0$aHearing disorders in children$xDiagnosis 615 0$aHearing impaired children$xServices for 676 $a618.9209789 702 $aKhoza-Shangase$b Katijah 702 $aKanji$b Amisha 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910433245903321 996 $aEarly detection and intervention in audiology$92229179 997 $aUNINA
