The Central Auditory processing Disorders (CAPD) Clinic provides a multidisciplinary team approach to the assessment of school-age children and adults who are suspected of presenting higher-level language and/or auditory processing disorders. This team approach includes the following members and procedures:
The goal of the testing is to identify the strengths
and weaknesses in auditory abilities for the individual
and to determine if behavioral and academic symptoms
represent a central auditory processing disorder. The
information provided using a team allows for a more
thorough interpretation and separation of an auditory
processing disorder from other disorders such as attention
deficit hyperactive disorder, autism, language delays,
etc. The team offers recommendations for school management,
compensatory measures and employment strategies.
