Working with Children with Auditory Processing Disorder	Posted by Janis
What are auditory processing disorders (APDs) really all about? What is the difference between APD, AD/HD and language disorders? How can we identify APD in children? How can we help children with APDs in school and at home? How can an APD be treated? The purpose of this interactive, one-day program is to give professionals an understanding of how APD is identified, and most importantly, it will offer strategies and materials that have been found successful in managing and treating individuals with APD. Participants will gain a concrete understanding of APD based on an approach that integrates auditory, language, cognitive, social/emotional, and experiential factors, with a major focus on intervention strategies. Practice with strategies found successful in treating APD in children will be provided. Case studies will be presented. Time will be devoted for questions and answers. Speech-language pathologists, audiologists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, occupational therapists, regular and special educators, school nurses, and other school personnel will find this seminar beneficial and enlightening. Each participant will receive a comprehensive course manual prepared by Dr. Jay Lucker that is designed to serve as a helpful learning aid and a useful resource. At the end of this seminar the participant will be able to: Compare and contrast behaviors seen in children with APD, AD/HD, language disorders and other disorders Define specific categories of APD and the unique challenges related to each Describe some common methods for assessing APD Develop specific strategies for both managing and treating clients with APD Identify at least one approach for providing interventions for each of the following: decoding problems; auditory distractibility; memory problems; integration problems; and organizational problems Explain different approaches to treating processing disorders (APDs) with focus on the system-integrative approach For dates, locations, fees, and registration see: http://www.meds-pdn.com/seminar_find/index.php Type "auditory processing" in the search box.
