APD characteristics | Majority of the school day: child is required to listen to the teacher, understand what is said, remember it, and respond to it. Child may seem off task. Restless, forgetful, or impatient |
APD Problems | Monaural discrimination, Understanding binaural acoustic information, |
Monaural discrimination | Ability to perceive degraded words or words in competition (when both are presented to one ear), Temporal aspects of hearing or pattern recognition. |
Binaural acoustic processing | Signal in one ear and noise in the other or dichotic information (different info in each ear) |
Temporal aspects of hearing or pattern recognition | The ability to rapidly and accurately sequence auditory information |
S.I.F.T.E.R. | Screening Instrument for Targeting Educational Risk Cutoff levels used for referral purposes. Content areas include: -Academics -Attention -Communication -Participation -Behavior |
Audiological Testing Completed | Determine areas of auditory processing affected. Buffalo Model (30 – 45 minutes): Phonemic Synthesis; Staggered Spondaic Word (SSW); Speech in Noise |
SSW | First devised to test auditory function in individuals with brain lesions Turned out to be sensitive to various components of auditory processing Provides test indicators for each of the 4 CAP categories |
Phonemic Synthesis | Discrimination of individual speech sounds Degree to which they are remembered How sounds are synthesized into words Breaks words down into phonemes that are presented one at a time |
Speech in Noise | Analyze a person’s ability to correctly repeat back words that are presented at +5 dB SNR in each ear This score is compared to how that individual scored in quiet Indicator of Tolerance Fading Memory |
