Experiencing Solutions-Based Auditory Processing Evaluation and Therapy

View Course Details Please note: exam questions are subject to change.


1.  How would a clinician note a pause during the SSW by the Buffalo Model?
  1. A circled X
  2. Three question marks followed by an exclamation mark.
  3. A capital D
  4. Thumbs up emoji
2.  Why is it important to note qualifiers? Select the response that does NOT apply.
  1. It helps us to gather data on how a person compensates for potential auditory skill deficits.
  2. It helps us spot the fakers and proves this to their family members/parents.
  3. It allows us to record the difficulties a person had during the testing.
  4. It gives us insight as to how we may be able to help them with specific auditory training.
3.  What SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) is used for the W22 Speech in Noise assessment?
  1. +10 dB SNR
  2. +5 dB SNR
  3. 0 dB SNR
  4. -5 dB SNR
4.  What are the three assessments utilized in the Buffalo Model test battery to diagnose APD?
  1. W22 Speech in Quiet and in Noise, SSW, and Phonemic Synthesis.
  2. SSW, Dichotic Digits, and W22 Speech in Quiet and in Noise.
  3. Dichotic Digits, Phonemic Synthesis, and W22 Speech in Quiet and in Noise.
  4. Phonemic Synthesis, W22 Speech in Quiet and in Noise, and ASA.
5.  What is a quantitative error?
  1. Marked as a correct/incorrect response.
  2. Marked based on gender.
  3. Marked to describe the way in which a person responds - enhances understanding of how a person came to a certain response (did they pause? did they rehearse it before repeating it back? did they say it back before the stimulus was finished presenting?)
  4. None of the above
6.  What is a qualitative error?
  1. Marked as a correct/incorrect response.
  2. Marked based on gender.
  3. Marked to describe the way in which a person responds - enhances understanding of how a person came to a certain response (did they pause? did they rehearse it before repeating it back? did they say it back before the stimulus was finished presenting?)
  4. None of the above
7.  What therapy(s) is/are utilized to begin addressing the decoding (DEC) subcategory:
  1. Phonemic Training Program (PTP)
  2. Words in Noise Training (WINT)
  3. Phonemic Synthesis Therapy (PS)
  4. Phonemic Training Program and Phonemic Synthesis Therapy
8.  What criteria is utilized in order to determine if a diagnosis can be made for APD?
  1. An individual must fall outside two standard deviations on two probes (moderate weakness) or three standard deviations (significant weakness) on a single test.
  2. An individual must fall outside one standard deviation on two probes (mild weakness) or two standard deviations (moderate weakness) on a single test.
  3. An individual must fall outside one standard deviation on a single test (mild weakness).
  4. An individual must fall outside two standard deviations on a single test (moderate weakness).
9.  What test battery should be utilized upon APD re-evaluation?
  1. Central Test Battery
  2. The same test battery that was used for the initial evaluation
  3. The Bellis/Ferre Test Battery
  4. Acoustic Pioneer
10.  Can auditory processing abilities be evaluated before a child is 7 years of age?
  1. Yes
  2. No
  3. Sometimes
  4. None of the above
