Answer:
Question:
2. Discuss the rationale for APD screening
Answer:
1. Many children are likely affected by the disorder
2. Screening will reduce the # of inappropriate referrals for comprehensive
central auditory testing, thereby reducing long-term time and cost investment
3. Will help identify children in need of medical intervention
4. Psychological effects of CAPD can be minimized
5. Appropriate identification of children with CAPD will allow for insightful
educational planning

5. SCAN subtests:
Answer:
Filtered words
Auditory figure ground
Competing words
Competing sentences
Question:
6. Criticisms of SCAN
Answer:
1. No documented validity of the test using listeners with known lesions/disorders
of the CANS
2. No measure of temporal processing
3. Limited # of items per subtest

7. What does ACPT stand for?
Answer:
Auditory Continuous Performance Test
Question:
8. ACPT assesses ________
Answer:
Auditory attention
Question:
9. ACPT: individuals listen to a long list of ______ words and
raise their thumb whenever they hear the word "dog".
Answer:
Monosyllabic
Question:
10. Use of this test along with measure of visual attention can
help assist in differential diagnosis of attention-related
disorders
Answer:
ACPT
, Question:
11. Other potential screeners for CAPD
Answer:
Dichotic digits
Gap detection
HINT-C (HINT for children)
Pediatric Speech Intelligibility (PSI)
Multiple Auditory Processing Assessment (MAPA)
Question:
12. What are some behavioral checklists/questionnaires?
Answer:
Children's Auditory Performance Scale (CHAPS)
Fisher's Auditory Processing Checklist
Screening Instrument for Targeting Educational Risk (SIFTER)
Auditory Processing Domains Questionnaire (APD-Q)
Buffalo Model Questionnaire Revised (BMQ-R)
Question:
13. Case 1 from first PowerPoint...
Does this child need to undergo a further auditory
processing eval?
Recommendations?
Answer:
Evidence: There are some problems with certain aspects of auditory processing,
but this child is struggling in other areas as well. For example, this child was
exhibiting problems with the /s/, /th/, and /z/ sound. These articulation errors
suggest a DEVELOPMENTAL problem because they are later developing sounds.
Problems with visual and spatial skills, adaptive living, color and number
identification all point to another problem besides APD. Also, seeing improvement
in auditory comprehension after being prescribed ADHD medication also points
to another problem.
Does this child need to undergo a further auditory processing eval?
No, evidence is not specific to an auditory processing disorder
Recommendations?
Follow-up with assessments of other modalities (it is most likely an attention
problem)
