- #AUDITORY PROCESSING DISORDER HEARING AID SERIES#
We are talking about those children with normal peripheral hearing acuity who demonstrate auditory processing issues and who have been formally identified. Today we are not talking about children with peripheral hearing loss. Auditory Processing DisorderĪuditory processing disorder, or central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) is a breakdown in auditory abilities resulting in diminished learning or comprehension through hearing, even though peripheral hearing sensitivity is normal. I have no financial relationships with any of the products I’ll discuss today they are things that have worked effectively for us in our work with children with auditory processing disorders. We are going to talk about specific strategies that are based in evidence, and then we will discuss some products and tools to help. How do we link what we know works or does not work to the current science? There is a lot of exciting current research on cognitive neuroscience and neuroplasticity that relates to our treatment of children with APD. Today, we'll look at some of the current evidence in cognitive science that supports treatment and management of auditory processing disorders (APD). She currently teachers courses on ethics and audiology at The Ohio State University. She is the past president of the Ohio Academy of Audiology, past president of the American Academy of Audiology and a past chair of the Board of Governors of the American Board of Audiology.

She is involved in a large range of professional issues, including preceptor education and training, clinical education and ethics education. Whitelaw is the director of The Ohio State University Speech, Language and Hearing clinic, and she is an audiology faculty member on the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Other Disorders grant at the Nisonger Center of Ohio State University. To earn CEUs for this material, you can register for all three sessions as a recorded course or as a text course. Gail Whitelaw will discuss an evidence-based approach to managing auditory processing disorders in children. In the second session, I discussed what children need to hear in the classroom to be successful. She underscored how critical hearing is in the development of the auditory brain. Flexer presented information about the auditory brain. Jane Madell, PhD: This is part three of our pediatric workshop entitled Maximizing Outcomes for Children with Auditory Disorders.

The webinar series is also available as a text course - access the text course here.Īfter this course, readers will be able to discuss current evidence in cognitive science that supports treatment and management of auditory processing disorders, and list some specific strategies, current products and tools that have an evidence base as being effective in working with children with auditory processing disorders. Editor’s Note: This is an edited transcript of the third webinar in a 3-part webinar series.
