  • Diagnosis and Management of CAPD - Part 3
    Management. Gail D. Chermak, Ph.D. Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is a sensory processing deficit that commonly impacts listening, spoken language comprehension and learning. Although central auditory processing is dependent on the integrity and function of the central auditory nervous system, non-modality specific factors, including attention, motivation, memory, learning and decision processing can exacerbate or mitigate the impact of CAPD. As noted in Part II of this series, evaluation of language development, speech understanding and learning is necessary to identify associated (co-morbid) conditions, as well as clarify the functional impact of CAPD. Once this multidisciplinary evaluation is completed, comprehensive management can be implemented.

  • Diagnosis and Management of CAPD - Part 2
    Assessment. Gail D. Chermak, Ph.D. Given the heterogeneous nature of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) and the range of listening and learning deficits that often coexist with CAPD, comprehensive evaluation requires a multidisciplinary team approach. CAPD is diagnosed by the audiologist on the basis of an extensive audiologic evaluation. Additional evaluation of language development, speech understanding and learning is necessary, however, to identify associated (co-morbid) conditions, as well as clarify the functional impact of CAPD. Speech-language pathologists, psychologists and educators contribute to this more comprehensive assessment. Speech-language and psychoeducational assessment of children with CAPD is beyond the scope of this article. Rather, a minimum test battery for diagnosing CAPD is outlined below.

  • Diagnosis and Management of CAPD - Part 1
    Definition. Gail D. Chermak, Ph.D. Notwithstanding the primacy of auditory processing deficits in central auditory processing disorders (CAPD), it is a complex and heterogeneous group of disorders usually associated with a range of listening and learning deficits (ASHA, 1996; Chermak & Musiek, 1992, 1997). CAPD "refers to a deficit observed in one or more of the central auditory processes responsible for generating the auditory evoked potentials and the following behaviors: sound localization and lateralization; auditory discrimination; auditory pattern recognition; temporal aspects of audition including, temporal resolution, temporal masking, temporal integration, and temporal ordering; auditory performance with competing acoustic signals; and auditory performance with degraded acoustic signals." (Chermak & Musiek, 1997, p. 3).
