The program is designed for use in special education settings as well as speech therapy. The programs aims to support active training and stimulation of higher auditory functions in children showing symptoms of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). It can be used for corrective
and compensatory work, but also for progress monitoring, as well as with other work intended to stimulate higher auditory functions in
children with difficulties in learning, writing, and reading, and in children
with co-existing emotional disorders that may be due to impaired sound analysis at a central level. This program is intended for therapists, including speech therapists and teachers working with pre-school and elementary
school children, aged 5+ (within typical developmental norms) or regardless of age in the case of children with intellectual disabilities.
The exercise sets in the program are designed to reflect the criteria contained in the definition of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) formulated by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
(ASHA, 1996*).
