Auditory Processing Assessment Kit - Understanding How Children Listen and Learn
|
The Auditory Processing Assessment Kit has been developed for classroom teachers and health professionals to help improve communication and learning outcomes. It is a practical tool to assess children’s capacity to take in and recall verbal instructions. The ability to accurately recall spoken information is a developmental process that gradually improves throughout childhood with the rate of development varying from one child to another. If those teaching children take auditory processing and the recommended strategies into account, they can expect significantly improved learning outcomes and behaviour. The Kit provides pre-recorded spoken presentations of sentences and digits with instructions on how to use them to measure auditory processing capacity. Children are instructed to listen to the sentences or series of digits and repeat accurately what they hear. Repetition of sentences of increasing length gives an indication of the length of instruction that a child can understand. The ability to repeat digits indicates how well children process information in order, for example, phonemes or sounds that make up a word.Children with many different conditions such as ADHD Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, speech and language disorders, central auditory processing difficulties, mild intellectual difficulty, unfamiliarity with English, or those with an isolated problem with normal intelligence, or even children who are very stressed, can all experience difficulty with processing auditory information.
