Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), also commonly referred to as Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), is the inability to attend to, discriminate among or between, recognize, or understand auditory information. APD is a sensory processing deficit that commonly impacts listening, spoken language, comprehension, and learning. APD is associated with some sort of dysfunction within the central auditory nervous system.<\/span><\/p>\n

APD Diagnosis<\/h2>\n

APD, also referred to as central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), is diagnosed by an audiologist who has received specialized training in evaluating central auditory function. An accurate diagnosis coupled with a treatment\/therapy regime targeted to remediate the identified auditory processing deficits accomplishes my goals for each individual. 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.<\/p>\n

Northwest Auditory Processing Clinic selects a test battery that best meets the individual\u2019s specific needs, based on clinical and professional experience, and most importantly, each client’s unique needs. An evaluation at Northwest Auditory Processing Clinic will include at least one test from each of these categories:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dichotic Tests<\/strong> \u2013 Dichotic tests present a different auditory stimulus for each ear.<\/p>\n

Monaural Low-Redundancy Speech (MLRS) Tests<\/strong>\u2014MLRS tests assess auditory closure, the listener\u2019s ability to fill in and recognize an acoustic signal when parts are missing or by changing frequency, temporal, or intensity characteristics.<\/p>\n

Temporal Processing Tests<\/strong> \u2013 Temporal processing tests measure the listener\u2019s ability to recognize the order or pattern of nonverbal auditory signals.<\/p>\n

Binaural Interaction Tests\u2014<\/strong>Binaural interaction tests assess \u201cbinaural fusion,\u201d the listener’s ability to\u00a0take incomplete information presented to each ear and fuse it into an understandable signal.<\/p>\n

Treating Auditory Processing Disorders<\/h2>\n
\n

Northwest Auditory Processing Clinic designs individualized treatment plans to address the specific deficit areas identified in the APD evaluation. Successful management in the educational setting focuses on remediating the disorder, changing the environment, and improving the client\u2019s listening and learning skills. Input to IEP goals and objectives, classroom accommodations, including strategies for the teacher, and use of assistive devices and FM systems are offered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
