NCAPD’s Simulation of Auditory Processing Problems
When parents, teachers and professionals think about auditory processing disorders (APD) in children, one question that may arise is "What is it like for my child with APD to process information?" To provide some insights into what it is like, the idea of a simulation of processing problems was developed. At first, we wanted to present an auditory simulation, but the technology for presenting such a simulation was beyond the resources (especially financial resources) of the NCAPD at the time. Therefore, a decision was made to create the simulation using written text.
Although the simulation uses written text, the idea is to present linguistic information in a format that would be easy to present, inexpensive to produce, and concrete enough to provide insight into what it is like to have a problem processing information and provide some ideas about strategies that can be successfully used to help children with auditory processing problems.
When considering APD, the bottom line is that the child has a disorder in dealing effectively and appropriately with the information that is heard. There may be a variety of factors that underlie an APD, but some factors are more readily identified than others. Thus, factors such as decoding, auditory attention, memory, and integration are addressed in this simulation. Prior to presenting each factor is a description of the specific factor being addressed. Then, information is presented using specific distortions. After each presentation, the unmodified text is available for view. Additionally, strategies for making it easier to process the distorted information are presented.
