Digging Deeper into Central Auditory Processing Disorder

Inclusive Education Project (IEP) Podcast

Today’s show expands on our previous episode with Dr. Connie McReynolds in which we discussed central auditory processing deficits in kids with autism or ADHD. Even though many experts would argue that this is a medical disorder, it has profound impacts on education and certainly qualifies as an area of unique need for many children. Join us to learn more!

Show Highlights:

• Common pushbacks from school districts and characteristics of CAPD (central auditory processing disorder)
• Children with CAPD will typically “hear” with no difficulty, but information processing is deficient.
• Digging into the underlying root causes of processing issues requires proper assessments and evaluations.
• The dangers of an early misdiagnosis
• Typical signs that a child should see an audiologist
• Strategies that are helpful for kids with CAPD
• IEPs, accommodations, and services may not bring improvement if they don’t target the specific issues with CAPD.
