Understand the functional and therapeutic connection between the vestibular and auditory systems.ģ. Identify the paticular factors that affect auditory processing skills.Ģ. The conclusion of each segment involves a review of the content covered and questions to assess the acquisition of learning outcomes.Īt the completion of this class participants will be able to:ġ. TheraPeeds uses an interactive medium in all classes and the programs are structured to cover each of the learning outcomes in each segment of instruction. Occupational Therapists, Audiologists, Speech Language Pathologists, Physical Therapists, Educators and Administrators who are interested in learning PRACTICAL information focusing on the treatment of APD and how improving auditory processing skills can increase a child's overall functioning in school and home. In this program, participants will learn about treatments that can be used to "retrain" the auditory pathways in the brain that are underdeveloped resulting in the elimination of auditory processing problems. Understanding how a child processes sound and knowing where there might be specific breakdowns in the process is necessary for specific targeted intervention. APD's are often an underlying factor in functional deficits such as reading accuracy, fluency and comprehension problems, decreased auditory memory, reduced speech and language skills, limited social-pragmatic skills and attention disorders. So you are treating a child with an Auditory Processing Disorder, what are you going to do about it? In this class we focus on giving you proven strategies to effectively treat this CNS weakness by using hierarchically ordered, brain-based interventions.
