Auditory
Processing

An individual can have acute hearing but may have trouble understanding and explaining what they have heard.




​
Most hidden challenges are the ones we cannot see.
​
We only see how they are trying to cope from the outside.



​

How do we know if the problem lies with the message that the ears are receiving or with the brain’s processing?
​

The first step in identifying APD is to rule out hearing loss. Newborn hearing screening is performed within the first few days after birth. The ENT specialist together with the Audiologist (hearing specialist) will perform detailed full-scale hearing tests.

How do we know if its Language Learning Difficulty, or CAPD?

Language-based learning disability 
(LBLD) refers to a spectrum of difficulties related to the understanding and use of spoken and written language. Thus it is not easily diagnosed and evaluated. A
 team including both audiologists and SLPs is valuable in the diagnosis of CAPD and the identification of language disorders that occur in association with CAPD.

​DIAGNOSIS & ASSESSMENT

Audiologic Assessment Components - ASHA
Observations and Tests
Assessment data may be gathered by the audiologist, the SLP, and other members of the interdisciplinary team (e.g., psychologist, special educator). These assessment data may identify the presence of disorders with symptoms similar to CAPD (e.g., peripheral hearing loss, ADHD, speech-language disorder, cognitive deficits) and help determine if further CAPD testing is warranted. - ASHA

The audiologist selects the appropriate CAP test battery, it may be used to diagnose impairment in one or more neurophysiologic processes that occur as auditory signals travel through the Central Auditory Nervous System. 
​
Behavioral—assesses the functional capabilities of the auditory system.
Electrophysiologic—assesses neural processes in the central auditory pathway and provides information about the integrity of the CANS.


The main treatment for APD is speech therapy  by speech-language pathologists.

AUDITORY / SENSORY STRATEGIES

​QUOTED: This sensory audit is to help staff to assess and create an environment that enables the participation of pupils with autism. It does not cover all aspects, but gives ideas on the ways in which a setting might be altered if pupils experience sensory processing difficulties and find it hard or very anxiety-provoking to tolerate certain sensations or situations.

4 Types of Auditory Processing Issues

​
​

1. Auditory Discrimination 

This is the ability to notice and distinguish between distinct and separate sounds.

This resource site includes inclusive services for all types of professionals. The reviews are from parents who shared their positive experiences with them. Do note that every individual is unique, and not every service provider is one size fits all. Negative feedback will not be displayed but do contact us if you feel that there are concerns, and we will decide to review for removal on a case-by-case basis. If you have come across any inclusive services that could benefit another family do contact us to place their services for other parents to find. Thank you people :D
