    Study Notes

    Central Auditory Processing

    • Central Auditory Processing (CAP) is the processing of sounds in the central auditory nervous system (CANS).
    • CAP involves mechanisms for preserving, refining, analyzing, modifying, organizing, and interpreting auditory information.
    • CAP skills include auditory discrimination, temporal aspects of audition, and binaural processing.

    Central Auditory Processing and Language Processing

    • CAP is interrelated with language development and pre-literacy skills.
    • Auditory processing skills and language skills are difficult to separate, especially regarding academic demands.
    • Speech processing is complex and involves auditory, cognitive, and language mechanisms.
    • Richard's continuum of processing includes central auditory processing, phonemic processing, and linguistic processing.

    Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)

    • CAPD describes deficits in the neural processing of auditory information.
    • CAPD is distinct from higher-order language or cognitive factors.
    • CAPD can be diagnosed based on poor performance in one or more of the following: sound localization, auditory discrimination, auditory pattern recognition, temporal aspects of audition, auditory performance in competing acoustic signals, and auditory performance with degraded acoustic signals.

    Considerations for CAPD

    • CAPD may be associated with difficulties in higher-order language, learning, and communication functions.
    • CAPD can co-occur with other disorders like ADHD, language delay or disorder, and learning disability.
    • CAPD is not due to peripheral hearing loss.
    • CAPD is not due to multilingualism.
    • Professionals have different perspectives on how to define, assess, and treat CAPD.

    Team Approach

    • A person- and family-centered plan of care for CAPD involves an interprofessional team.
    • The team composition varies based on individual needs.
