The Journal of the American Academy of Audiology (JAAA) is the Academy's scholarly peer-reviewed publication, issued 10 times a year and available online at no cost to Academy members as a benefit of membership. The journal publishes articles and clinical reports in all areas of audiology, including audiological assessment, amplification, aural habilitation and rehabilitation, auditory electrophysiology, vestibular assessment, and hearing science.
The mission of the Accreditation Commission for Audiology Education (ACAE), an autonomous organization, is "to assure the public that only those programs that have complied with this agency's standards and that graduate competent audiologists trained at the Au.D. level will be accredited." The ACAE also assures its communities of interest that graduates of ACAE accredited programs will be able to function according to the national scope of practice as defined by the profession. ACAE accreditation recognizes, reinforces, and promotes the highest quality in AuD educational programs through a rigorous verification process.
The mission of the American Academy of Audiology Foundation is to promote philanthropy in support of research, education, and public awareness in audiology and hearing science. The Foundation’s programs and initiatives impact audiologists, audiology doctoral students, consumers, and those with hearing impairments and balance disorders. Our portfolio of research grants, educational humanitarian, and public awareness scholarships, lectureships and more strive to broaden the knowledge base and understanding of the impact hearing loss and balance problems have on an individual. Our mission areas of public awareness, research, and education attempt to address these issues across the spectrum through improved understanding of normal hearing and balance processes to determine effective treatment of deficits when they occur.

February 20-22, 2015
Miami Children's Hospital, Miami, FL
1.9 AAA CEUs / 23 FPTA & AOTA CEUs
This Workshop will provide a comprehensive overview with all aspects of pediatric considerations including a review of the phylogenic aspects of the peripheral and central vestibular mechanisms, assessment protocols utilizing behavioral motor milestones, and electrophysiological measures such as Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs). Treatment will include the use of Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT), as well as Return to Play indicators (RTP) post concussion (mTBI), and Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers (CRM) with 'hands-on' manual practice. Evaluation and treatment of special needs children with multiple involvements will also be discussed with case presentations.
