Q

Can APD - what are the 3 final levels of recommendations?

2) training clinicians and facilitating continued learning
3)providing effective services for clients

22
Q

23
Q

Can APD - what 4 reasons is the ICF recommended to define health-related services?

A

1) the ICF is well organized internationally
2) it integrates the strengths of both medical and social models of disability

24
Q

Can APD - what 3 ways can we train clinicians and facilitate continued learning?

2) practicum experiences
3) continued education

25
Q

Can APD - what 2 ways can we provide effective services for clients?

A

1) forming interdisciplinary team of professionals to address the needs of individuals with APD
2) introducing available services to individuals with APD

26
Q

USA APD - what are the limitations of checklists and questionnaires for APD screening?

A

Poor sensitivity, specificity, and validity leading to over referrals (identifies as WNL once behavioural measures are used)

27
Q

USA APD - What are the first steps in the APD test battery?

A
  • testing peripheral auditory function (using OAEs, immittance measures, pure tone audiometry, and word recognition performance)
  • to rule out middle ear and cochlear auditory dysfunction
28
Q

USA APD - The APD TB should: (3)

A

1) consist of a minimum number of tests (at least 2)
2) tests should have validity, reliability, sensitivity, specificity, and efficiency in identifying CANS dysfunction
3) be administered within 45 to 60 minutes (to minimize fatigue)

29
Q

USA APD - should audiologists use software programs (audacity, adobe’s audition) to create and manipulate stimuli for AP tests?

A

This is difficult because norms are already based on specific stimuli

30
Q

An untreated peripheral HL could lead to ____

A

APD (not all cases of HL have difficulty in AP)

31
Q

HL = ____, and APD = ____

A

peripheral, central

32
Q

Why can’t we test someone for APD if they have HL?

A
  • those with HL already have difficulty with AP, we have no way to separate the two
  • APD norms are made for those with peripheral hearing WNL
33
Q

Those affected by ____ and ____ experience more effects of AP difficulties than just ____ alone

A

HL, APD, APD

34
Q

What are confounding factors?

A
  • there are many factors that impact APD (age, sex, gender, HL, job, environment, lifestyle)
35
Q

untreated HL leads to ____

A

maladaptive neuroplasticity

36
Q

USA APD - do they recommend using AEP tests (auditory evoked potential) in the APD TB? why?

A
  • there are no widely accepted criteria for including AEPs in APD TBs
  • we don’t have norms for APD when it comes to AEP tests
  • not able to separate APD from other similar disorders (same result for APD as a language disorder)
37
Q

USA APD - what are the 5
limitations for recommending the use of AEPs?

A
  • cost implications (more $ than behavioural tests)
  • limited availability in audiology clinics
  • poor sensitivity in differentiating APDs from language, reading, or attentional disorders
  • results within normal limits in many cases with APD
  • not providing additional information beyond behavioural tests
38
Q

USA APD - when are AEPs recommended (3)?

A
  • cases suspected in neurologic disorders
  • young children due to low cooperation
  • when behavioural tests fail to reveal clear deficits
39
Q

NZ APD - the cpg follows what guidelines?

A

ICF model

40
Q

NZ APD - what are the two approaches?

A

1) test battery approach
2) hieratical approach

41
Q

NZ APD - what is the TB approach?

A
  • recommended by musiek (2011)
  • using a TB including 2 or 3 APD tests with appropriate sensitivity and specificity
  • use fixed Ax included in the TB (used for everyone)
42
Q

NZ APD - what is the hieratical approach?

A
  • proposed by dillon (2012)
  • using a fixed TB may have no relation to all cases suspected of APDs
  • the recommend starting with a small number of tests sensitive to different skills necessary for understanding speech in difficult listening conditions
  • followed by additional tests based on the failed tests if needed
  • current literature is in support of this approach
  • use 1-2 Ax, then for difficulties that are flagged, will go deeper into other tests.
  • if difficulty with processing dichotic stimuli, do more dichotic tests
43
Q

NZ APD - what 7 ways do they judge tests?

A

1) appropriate age norms
2) test-retest reliability has been published
3) reported validity
4) sensitivity and/or specificity have been published
5) clinically acceptable
6) published studies
7) they note any limitations

44
Q

NZ APD - the only cpg that looks at what?

A

processing attention and memory

45
Q

NZ APD - where are AEPs most currently used?

A

hoc basis and in research

46
Q

NZ APD - the use of AEPs in APD TBs requires consensus regarding (6)

A

1) optimal stimuli
2) recording parameters

6) continuous education and training

47
Q

NZ APD - ____ are recommended in clinical evaluation for APD

A

acoustic reflexes

NZ APD - what are some symptoms of listening problems not consistent with results of basic hearing Ax?

A

49
Q

NZ APD - common AR results in children with APD

A

50
Q

NZ APD - what is the teacher evaluation of auditory performance?

A

A checklist on the developmental sequency of phonological skills

51
Q

What are the 5 limitations of existing CPGs on APD?

A
