APD, also called central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), is diagnosed by Liz Zeitlin, M.A., an audiologist with specialized training in evaluating central auditory function. Goals for each individual are accomplished by diagnosis coupled with a treatment\/therapy regimen targeted to remediate the identified auditory processing deficits. A battery of normed tests is essential to assess the six areas of potential processing deficits, yielding a profile that outlines auditory strengths and weaknesses. Identifying specific deficit areas is the backbone for my recommendations, accommodations, and remediation.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”2c55a9c4-feed-423b-9edb-ae0b5b365cac” text_font=”–et_global_body_font|500|||||||” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.3em” header_text_color=”#690100″ header_font_size=”50px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-primary-color%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-heading-color%22:%91%22header_4_text_color%22,%22header_3_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_5_text_color%22,%22header_6_text_color%22,%22quote_text_color%22,%22header_4_text_color%22,%22header_3_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_5_text_color%22,%22header_6_text_color%22,%22quote_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-body-color%22:%91%22text_text_color%22,%22text_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-secondary-color%22:%91%22quote_border_color%22,%22quote_border_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n Because gathering information about a child\u2019s abilities across a wide variety of functional domains is vital, a team approach is used to assess auditory processing abilities. The collection and assessment of medical history, developmental milestones, and observations from both home and the classroom setting allow me to ascertain cognitive skills, receptive and expressive speech and language abilities, and listening and learning behavior. Information from a child\u2019s speech\/language pathologist and psychologist is integral to the APD evaluation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#a5a5a5″ locked=”off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”5138c454-be54-4233-bd3b-f8e6a8747976″ custom_padding=”60px|60px|60px|60px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ border_radii=”on|21px|21px|21px|21px” border_width_all=”6px” border_color_all=”#BA4903″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-36fd78a7-34bc-404d-873c-dafa34efaae5%22:%91%22icon_color%22,%22icon_color%22,%22icon_color%22,%22color%22%93,%22gcid-7cadd8b3-5228-48e4-90c4-212d09232f7b%22:%91%22header_text_color%22,%22color%22%93,%22gcid-9a15b43a-75da-4015-a522-d0ef1179ded7%22:%91%22body_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-828accbb-1ed2-407d-95be-20ab4e191566%22:%91%22border_color_all%22%93}” border_style_all=”double” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”73121f80-a3ef-4484-8763-c3f18e3c56d2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Treating Auditory Processing Disorders” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”c33f07d9-41e0-421a-8799-5799df695cce” title_font=”–et_global_body_font|–et_global_heading_font_weight|||||||” title_text_align=”center” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font_size=”35px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”2c55a9c4-feed-423b-9edb-ae0b5b365cac” text_font=”–et_global_body_font|500|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.3em” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-primary-color%22:%91%22link_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-heading-color%22:%91%22header_text_color%22,%22header_4_text_color%22,%22header_3_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_5_text_color%22,%22header_6_text_color%22,%22quote_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-secondary-color%22:%91%22quote_border_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n Northwest Auditory Processing Clinic designs individualized treatment plans to address the specific areas of deficit identified in the APD evaluation.
