[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 452352, member: 11791"] On audiologists, Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)... Most audiologists do HEARING tests. These do not capture Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) issues. Normally, Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is a multi-disciplinary diagnosis. It starts with school or parents flagging "issues", then Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation - which should include not just language evaluation, but auditory filtering/focus as well (this may be a slightly newer protocol - we didn't get it a few yrs ago, but did get it this year); if the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) feels there may be Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) issues, there is a basis to go to highly specialized audiologists specifically to pursue testing for/diagnosis of Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) has recommended testing for Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) - excellent, you're past that hurdle. BUT... is this audiologist appointment just with an ordinary (or even ordinary pediatric) audiologist? OR, with someone who specializes in Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) and other such issues? If its NOT with a Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) specialist... then you will not get reliable testing for Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). Doesn't mean you shouldn't still see this audiologist - really pays to know if the hearing side is working, because if THAT is a problem, they won't diagnosis Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) at this point (would want to do interventions for hearing first, and see the impact).
