CAPD Sources

Question 1

ASHA 2005

Answer 1

CAPD is defined by difficulties in the processing of auditory information in the central nervous system

Question 2

Katz 1992

Stecker 1998

Answer 2

The buffalo model for CAPD

Question 3

Jutras et al

Answer 3

The bellis/ferre model uses a combination of abnormal and normal test results to determine specific deficits

Question 4

ASHA 2005

AAA 2010

Answer 4

Clinical guidelines recommend the use of a test battery approach for APD diagnosis and emphasize the importance of identifying normal hearing first

Question 5

Bellis and Ferre (1999)

After the ASHA/AAA citation

Answer 5

Auditory decoding deficits are sometimes conceptualized as an inaccurate encoding of the auditory cortex bc of early childhood chronic otitis media consistent with ashley’s case history

Question 6

Gallun et al 2012

Answer 6

SSW tests the ability to segregate and interpret incoming speech presented to two ears.

AND

Normal performance on the gaps in noise test reflects good ability of the child for temporal resolution and effective inter-hemispheric transfer of information

Question 7

Bellis and Ferre (1999) after Gallun

Answer 7

Ashley’s performance may be influenced by her auditory decoding deficit particularly in areas of spelling or reading which are related to speech-sound discrimination. In addition, Ashley may require assistance with learning to read fluently and meet other academic milestones under the burden of greater auditory fatigue

Question 8

Musiek et al 2005

Answer 8

B/c of the non-modularity of the central nervous system, pediatric patients with CAPD will also frequently experience a range of comorbid issues, including speech-language , cognitive, and psycho-educational delays

Question 9

ASHA 2005; Bellis & Anzalone (2008)

Answer 9

There is consensus that interventions for children with APD should be customized and deficit focused, as well as multi-disciplinary.

Question 10

Bellis and Anzalone (2008) after ASHA/Bellis/Anzalone

Answer 10

Direct remediation via auditory training aims to improve an individual’s auditory performance by altering the way the brain processes sound.

Question 11

Russo et al (2005)

Answer 11

the phonemic training program is a basic program to improve auditory decoding- the purpose of the program is to improve the child’s speed and accuracy of processing speech. This in turn improves the child’s ability to understand speech by improving the accuracy and speed of processing phonemes.

Question 12

bellis and anzalone (2008) after russo et al

Answer 12

If it is impossible to provide an adequate SNR for Ashley through preferential seating and other environmental modifications, an FM system should be considered.

Question 13

Johnston et al 2009

Answer 13

children with CAPD who use FM systems demonstrate improvements in speech understanding and academic performance in quiet and in noise indicative of improvement in hearing ability because of treatment induced neuroplastic development
