Central Auditory Procesing problems refer to difficulties with sound perceptions. This problem involves the central nervous system. A perseon with normal hearing acuity can still have a central auditory processing disorder. CAP difficulties are often associated with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, reading and or spelling difficulties, speech or language impairment, and possibly behavioral problems such as poor attention span and inability to concentrate in a noisy environment. Our hearing evaluation must be conducted prior to CAP battery. Our audiologist obtains a detailed case history inquiring about the difficulties the individual has been encountering. CAP evaluations include a battery of specialized tests which reveal information on decoding abilites, auditory memory, integration of auditory informatoion, and proficiency of listening in noise. Test data is complied and analyzed. Results are then interpreted in a comprehensive report which addresses areas of strengths and weaknesses and suggests procedures and material for remediation. The COMMUNCATION CENTER also offers therapy programs for Central Auditory Processing disorders. Our therapy programs are provided by Speech Lanaguage Pathologists with a Masters Degree and training in Central Auditory Processing problems. |
