Q

what complicates the diagnosis of CAPD

A

Question of whether it is a separate and distinct disorder or a disorder of non-auditory processes
Example: cognition, language, memory, and attention that are not only tightly intertwined, but also closely integrated with auditory perception

Q

what is a 504 plan

A

Spells out the modifications/accommodations needed for students who have an opportunity to perform at the same level as their peers
This includes wheelchair ramps, blood sugar monitoring, a peanut-free lunch environment, home instruction, a keyboard for taking notes, etc.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
No one with a disability can be excluded from participating in federally funded programs or activities, including elementary, secondary, or postsecondary schooling

Q

difference between an IEP & 504 plan

A

504: Falls under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a civil rights law that ensures equal access to education by providing accommodations
Broader eligibility; includes any disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities (e.g., learning, walking, concentrating).
Does not require the student to need specialized instruction, only accommodations.
Suitable for students who can succeed in a general education environment with accommodations

IEP: Governed by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Provides specialized instruction and services to meet a child’s unique educational needs
More educational needs
Must have 1 of 13 specific disabilities listed under IDEA (autism, hearing impairment, specific learning disabilities, etc.) and must impact their ability to learn in a general education setting requiring specialized instruction
Best for students needing individualized, intensive educational support

70
Q

Which (C)APD test result patterns help with a definitive diagnosis of (C)APD

A

Must rule out other modalities first before CAPD diagnosis

unilateral left ear deficit is more specific and most common pattern on CAPD test battery

71
Q

what is a test battery

A

Includes a # of tests used to diagnose a certain condition

72
Q

Why should CAPD testing use a test battery and not a single sensitive diagnostic test?

A

CAPD is not one disorder
Clinical presentations can vary resulting from a number of mechanisms and auditory processes affected
Different measures are required for accurate assessment of central auditory processes
Multiple assessment measures can also help to establish more appropriate management for CAPD

73
Q

another definitive test battery pattern

A

reduced performance only on the ore difficult auditory portion of the test
implies an auditory deficit versus linguistic, cognitive or strictly attention deficits

74
Q

Does (C)APD qualify for an IEP or a 504 and why?

A

disorders in DSM V are real disorders and are easy to get reimbursement for but if they are not then it is not easy to do
because we do not have a well defined clinical diagnostic base

singular diagnosis of CAPD = NO IEP but possibly a 504
CAPD in addition to another diagnosis (speech or reading etc.) = IEP & 504
IEP is more educational and created by an interdisciplinary team & 504 is so you can succeed in an educational setting (civil)

75
Q

is CAPD top down or bottom up

A

capd is bottom-up
primarily auditory perceptual deficiencies

76
Q

is adhd top down or bottom up

A

ADHD is top down
global attention/executive functioning disorder

77
Q

describe top down processing

A

conceptually driven processin
Concept-driven, from the “top” (cognition) to the “bottom” (sensory input)
Processing guided by prior knowledge, experience, and expectations to interpret sensory information
occurs any time a higher-level concept influences the interpretation of lower-level sensory data

78
Q

how does top down processing work

A

Uses existing knowledge and context to interpret stimuli.
Fills in gaps or disambiguates unclear sensory information.
Auditory: Understanding speech in a noisy room based on context and familiarity with the language.

79
Q

example of top down processing

A

reading a partially obscured sentence and filling in missing words based on context

80
Q

bottom up processing

A

aka data-driven processing

Data-driven, from the “bottom” (sensory input) to the “top” (higher cognitive processing)

A form of information processing that is guided by input

81
Q

example of bottom up processing

A

Auditory: Hearing a new song for the first time and processing its melody and rhythm from scratch.
Reading unfamiliar words or identifying an unfamiliar taste

82
Q

intervention for top down processing

A

language skills
cognitive strategies
metacognitive strategies
classroom instructional & learning strategies

83
Q

how does bottom up processing work

A

Starts with basic sensory information (e.g., detecting edges, colors, or sounds).
Combines these elements to form a complete perception.
No prior knowledge or expectations are required.

84
Q

what does modality specific mean

A

processes information specific to a single sensory modality
processing auditory information only, processing visual information only etc.
brain processes tied to a particular sensory modality (hearing, visual etc.)

85
Q

what does supramodal mean

A

processes information that transcends individual sensory modalities, allowing integration across different senses
understanding the meaning of a word whether it is heard or read
brain processes that operate across different sensory modalities (not specific to any one sense and can integrate information from various sources)
like sight and sound

86
Q

Controversy: Is (C)APD modality-specific or supra-modal?

A

according to experts, CAPD is modality-specific perceptual dysfunction meaning that the problems are primarily in the auditory system
because of this, it can be differentiated from other conditions where others might be across multiple senses

but there is a controversy that capd has multiple modalities that are impaired arguing for supramodal problem
this would move the disorder from the audiologic to the psychological domain and maybe outside of the scope of practice for audiologists

87
Q

why is there this controversy

A

Lack of gold standard
gold standard = error free reference standard

sensitivity & specificity of tests is poo

88
Q

what is the controversy over

A

whether capd is a distinct clinical entity that primarily affects the auditory system or if it is a supramodal disorder
whether it primarily is a language deficit or an auditory problem
whether it manifests as non-auditory factors like attention, cognition, memory and executive function rather than a deficit of auditory processes

89
Q

what is ADHD

A

ADHD is more global disruption of sensory information and CAPD is associated with disruption of processing of auditory information only

common neurobehavioral childhood disorder that primarily affects children and continues into adulthood

90
Q

pure tones
tymps
ARTs
SRT in noise
OAEs
gap detection

usually within normal limits
variable depends on site of CANS dysfunction
present
often abnormal
usually normal

120
Q

what is HHL

A

aan acquired condition that permanently interrupts synaptic communication between sensory IHCs & afferent VIII nerve fibers before HL is diagnosed
seen with NIHL & aging

121
Q

another term for HHL

A

cochlear synaptopathy

122
Q

what are the clinical manifestations for HHL

A

decreased wave I amp w/ normal ABR thresholds
various suprathreshold abnormalities not seen in audio like
speech in noise difficulties, tinnitus & hyperacusis
they have normal or near to normal audios but they have issues hearing in noise or adverse listening environments

123
Q

how does HHL differ from CAPD

A

HHL is developmental
CAPD is congenital

they are both auditory processing disorders

124
Q

what is the most common cuase of cerebral damage

A

Cerebrovascular accidents (Strokes)

125
Q

risk factors for Cerebrovascular accidents (Strokes)

A

high blood pressure
heart disease
diabetes
cigarette smoking
increasing age
prior stroke

126
Q

s/s of Cerebrovascular accidents (Strokes)

A

Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg
Sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding others
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
Sudden dizziness
Trouble walking or loss of balance/coordination
Sudden severe headache with no known cause

127
Q

what are the causes of Cerebrovascular accidents (Strokes)

A

ischemia or hemmorhagic

128
Q

what is ischemia caused by

A

thrombus
embolus

129
Q

what is a thrombus

A

blood clot that can occur in any large cerebral blood vessel that affects blood flow

130
Q

Single most common cause of CVAs

A

thrombus

131
Q

what is an embolus

A

Small blood clot that has dislodged from a larger blood clot elsewhere in the body

132
Q

what is a transient ischemic attack

A

Small clot may pass on and the patient may recover completely from the ischemic attack
These are called transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) (when someone is talking and then they stop and just stare then pick up where they left off again)
Eventually can lead to a full-blown CVA

133
Q

most common cause of hemorrhages

A

Uncontrolled significantly high blood pressure

134
Q

what is a hemorrhage

A

When a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and bleeds
Less common occurrence than an ischemic stroke but can cause damage

135
Q

what are the auditory symptoms associated with CVAs

A

Peripheral tests may be normal just as seen with cortical tumors
Can be significant decrease in speech understanding abilities that may not improve with appropriate amplification
If the PT is a HA user, the HA of the ear opposite the side of the stroke may appear less effective
Reassessment of auditory function with appropriate amplification and auditory rehabilitation may be necessary

136
Q

what are D/D for CAPD

A

HL, language disorders (DLD), learning delays, ADHD, ASD, cognitive delays, ANSD, DLD, dyslexia

137
Q
A
