Behavioral tests for CAPDs can be affected by many factors, including cognition, development, compliance, and language ability, which limits interpretation of test results. This session will discuss electrophysiological testing, which provides an objective method of assessing the neural integrity of auditory processing at multiple levels of the auditory system and can aid in the interpretation of behavioral test results.

This course is a recorded session from the 2018/2019 online conference “Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD).”

Learning Objectives:
You will be able to:

• describe how brainstem responses such as cABR and FFR may differ in children who have language-based learning impairments compared with children who are typically developing learners
• describe how various electrophysiological measures may be used to document treatment outcomes in children/adults diagnosed with CAPDs or other language disorders

What is Included?
