A Listening Disorders Approach to CAPD Construct Controversies (WEB18060)
There is not one single, authoritative construct or definition for central auditory processing disorders (CAPDs), which often results in patients receiving a general diagnosis that is not deficit-specific and management strategies that are not individualized and therefore produce less impactful outcomes. This session will describe an alternative approach to characterizing CAPDs – that is, identifying specific clinical entities within the broad construct of CAPDs that professionals can unambiguously diagnose and for which deficit-specific interventions can lead to improved outcomes in auditory processing.
This course is a recorded session from the 2018/2019 online conference “Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD).”
