Auditory Processing (CAPD) (updated April 2000)
Do you have any information on central auditory processing disorders
(CAPD)?
A central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) is a condition in which one has difficulty
processing or interpreting auditory information when presented in a less than optimal listening
environment. Typically individuals with a central auditory disorder have normal hearing when
taking a traditional pure tone and speech hearing test but are unable to interpret or process speech
when in an environment which is less than quiet. The vast majority of children and adults that
have been evaluated can hear even the faintest of sounds, but are unable to process verbal stimuli
in an effective manner in their everyday listening situations. Environments such as a classroom
setting, the work place, community gatherings, and church are often seen as threatening because
of this auditory difficulty.
Individuals who have a CAPD have particular difficulty concentrating when in an environment
which is not perfectly quiet or has some "controlled" noise in the background. Understanding a
verbal message will also be a problem when trying to listen to a speaker and someone else is
talking or ambient noise is present in the background. These individuals often have to work
harder than others just trying to receive auditory information in a meaningful manner. It is a very
frustrating situation for individuals when they can hear "perfectly" but can not process auditory
speech information in a meaningful way.
There are many different opinions concerning the management of CAPD in children and adults.
While some clinicians feel that therapy programs alone will help a child with CAPD, others
recommend both therapy techniques and parent-teacher management guidelines to aid the
child. (From http://www.engr.colostate.edu/ece/Research/cad/index.html)

This book presents training activities for special education or regular teachers to use
with
children having auditory processing disorders. Each chapter begins with a discussion
of theory
and general intervention guidelines and then presents remedial activities. The first
chapter looks
at auditory processes overall, lists the normal sequence of auditory skill development,
and
offers suggestions for helping students with auditory processing problems in the regular
classroom. The second chapter considers auditory discrimination and provides a list of
appropriate tests and 85 remedial exercises. Next, a list of tests and 71 remedial
exercises are
provided for improving auditory memory. The fourth chapter considers auditory
perception,
identifying tests and giving 64 exercises. Remaining chapters provide discussion,
suggested
tests, and remedial exercises for: auditory-vocal association (60 exercises); auditory
synthesis
(34 exercises); auditory-vocal automaticity (32 exercises); auditory figure-ground (12
exercises);
and reading skills (24 exercises). The last chapter lists commercial materials including
books,
filmstrips and accompanying records, games, instructional aids, instructional kits,
programs,
records, tapes, and workbooks and reprint masters. Publishers' addresses are also
provided.

Announcement: CIJNOV92
Target Audience: Researchers
The observed listening performances of 64 children (ages 7-11) with central auditory
processing (CAP) disorders were evaluated. Data indicated wide variations in listening
performance depending upon the listening conditions and listening functions being
rated.
Findings suggested that these children had difficulties in both stressful and ideal
listening
conditions.

This book was written
to help
teachers gain a better understanding of children who are failing in school and to
provide a
systematic process of attacking their learning problems. The text presents workable
principles
for determining probable causes of learning problems and for selecting suitable,
effective
remedial activities. Learning problems dealt with include: visual processing problems
(sequencing, memory, abstraction, and discrimination); auditory processing
(sequencing,
memory, abstraction, and discrimination); verbal processing (production and response);
kinesthetic processing (perception, coordination, learning, and memory); and abstract
processing
(integration, nonverbal concepts, and concentration). For each problem area, the book
includes
symptoms, instructions for personal observation, tests commonly used to verify and
substantiate
a specific diagnosis, and suggestions for general classroom assistance and individual
remediation.

A technique for evaluating children's auditory-language processing abilities was
developed.
Teachers were trained in inservice workshops to identify auditory-language processing
problems, using the Observational Profile of Classroom Communication. They
subsequently
referred 46 nonhandicapped first-, second-, and third-graders for evaluation, which
indicated that
87% had problems. The technique was considered effective.
