Assessment of (central) auditory processing (AP) and identification of auditory processing disorder (APD) in children and adults is a systematic and multidisciplinary process. The assessment process includes the use of case history, questionnaires and observation forms, behavioral speech audiometric tests, electroacoustic, and electrophysiologic tests. Prerequisites to the course include a basic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the central auditory nervous system (CANS) and electrophysiologic test procedures. This module is designed to provide students with an understanding of the auditory processing assessment process, with primary emphasis on the pediatric population.
