Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD):
What the Brain Does with What the Ears Hear
with Melissa Wilson Beer, AuD, FAAA
and Jody Vaynshtok, MS, CCC-SLP
While central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) can be initially assessed or screened during a neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluation, best practice dictates that it must be diagnosed by an audiologist and treated by a speech language pathologist. Join two such professionals as they delve into the hallmarks of CAPD, its assessment, differential diagnosis, various profiles, functional implications, and treatment options. Learn more about when a referral is appropriate and about the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for best outcomes.
Objectives:
- Understand and identify the differences between the peripheral and central auditory systems.
- Identify at least three skills of central auditory processing.
- Identify the etiology and characteristics of Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD).
- Understand and identify the differences between ADHD and CAPD.
- Name at least two screening measures to identify if a referral for a CAPD evaluation is warranted.
- Identify three different treatment strategies that may benefit different CAPD profiles.
