Abstract

Central Auditory Processing Disorder [(C)APD] refers to difficulties in perceptual processing of information in the Central Auditory Nervous System (CANS) and underlying neurobiological mechanisms that supports a variety of auditory behaviours like temporal processing, auditory discrimination and binaural processing. CAPD may affect a person’s listening, communication abilities, academics etc thus it is paramount that individuals diagnosed with CAPD be provided significant management to conquer the deficit to the greatest degree possible. Speech and language pathologists provide several therapeutic strategies and approaches for the treatment of an individual with CAPD. The present article, therefore, reviews the therapeutic approaches offered by speech and language pathologists for the management of individuals with CAPD.
