Auditory Processing Disorders (CAP/APD) CEU Courses

Auditory processing holds the key to successful hearing. Auditory processing fosters everyday communication, including understanding speech in noise, and generating the sound-to-meaning connections for effective listening. This course discusses the frequency following response (FFR) to complex sounds. This biological approach is as direct a measure of auditory processing as currently exists, enables us an unprecedented look into individual differences in cognitive hearing health, and has proven fruitful in examining the biological underpinnings of listening difficulties.

This course will review the SCAN-3 Tests of Auditory Processing Disorders, an upgrade to the previous SCAN-C auditory processing test battery. A description of the additional tests, rationale for those additions, scoring procedures, and interpretation of findings will be discussed.

This text course provides an overview of Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) in adults and children including risk factors, causes, symptoms, and pathophysiology, in an engaging Q & A format with leading expert Dr. Gail Chermak.

Exposure to high-intensity blasts is common among veterans of the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. This presentation will summarize recent work at the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research examining central auditory processing deficits associated with blast exposure.

This modular course covers an array of clinical topics in pediatric audiology including assessment and management of children with autism spectrum disorder, treatment of auditory processing disorder, and hearing technology case studies. Each module incorporates practical guidance from the evidence as well as from the presenters’ clinical experience.

NOTE: The second part of this modular course, Treatment from the APD Trenches, is not available on mobile devices. We apologize for the inconvenience.
