Abstract:
Understanding central auditory processing disorders may be complex, but it need not be complicated. This instructional course describes the neuroscientific foundations of auditory processing – often defined as “what we do with what we hear,” signifying the continuum of skills that is encompassed by that term. Topics of discussion include the development of processing skills and the shared symptomatology across various sensory and neurocognitive disorders, as well as the impact of processing disorders on academics, communication, and life skills. Additionally, workshop participants will learn assessment techniques for differential diagnosis of central auditory processing disorders and other communicative and neurocognitive disorders, as well as differential intervention, including management strategies and treatment goals for improving auditory processing skills, especially among school-age listeners.
Objectives:
- Describe continuum and development of auditory processing skills.
- Identify various assessment techniques that probe skills along the processing continuum.
- Explain behavioral characteristics of central auditory processing and related deficits.
- Apply effective intervention strategies for use at home and school.
