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.
