What is a Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)

CAPD is a disorder that affects the way the brain processes auditory information. Individuals with CAPD have normal hearing but they have trouble recognizing and interpreting auditory information.

Slide3

Interesting Facts about CAPD

The number of children with

CAPD

is between 2-7%.

Boys

are twice as likely as

girls.

It is a rare disease as listed by the Office of Rare Diseases.

Slide4

If you suspect CAPD

Preliminary testing is recommended to determine if language/learning deficits are impacting the student’s performance (ex. PPVT, Self, Language Processing Test, Differential Diagnosis).

Keep in mind ADHD, ADD, Anxiety, Autism, Depression, Learning Disabilities, OCD, SID, Tourette’s, and Gifted can be misinterpreted as Auditory Processing Disorder. Please evaluate these prior to requesting testing.

A Referral for Evaluation should be completed by team and sent to HILIA

CAPD case history to be completed by the school and parent(s).

Slide5

CAPD Testing

Each complete evaluation is typically divided in to 2 sessions (2-3 hours each) due to patient fatigue/attention.

Session 1: Case History, Hearing evaluation, CAPD testing

Session 2: CAPD testing

Testing is normally done within a few weeks of referral based on availability

If student is found to have CAPD, a report will be sent to the school district and home to the family within 2 weeks. The report will include recommendations for environmental modifications, compensatory strategies and direct remediation.

Slide6

Environmental Modifications

Classroom seating, written AND oral instructions
