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.
