Urban Hearing offers comprehensive Auditory Processing Assessments
An assessment can take place virtually in the comfort of your own home, or in person at our Brooklyn or Bermuda locations.
Auditory Processing Evaluations are comprised of four steps:
Symptoms of APD can manifest in many ways and can range from mild to severe. Certain behaviors can identify at-risk children and adults with APD.
This list is illustrative, not exhaustive, and these signs are not unique to APD and should not be treated as definitive signs that APD is present. Many of these symptoms can often be associated with other commonly known disorders, such as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, and speech and/or language disorders. Additionally, it is important to note that APD may coexist with other disorders.
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) can affect both children and adults. It can cause problems with speech understanding, attention, learning, language, and reading.
Our goal is to provide education and recommendations to strengthen listening and communication skills and to reduce the academic, social, or workplace impact of APD.
Auditory processing disorder can be difficult to live with, both for the person with the disorder and the people in their lives. The insight gained by an auditory processing evaluation can provide guidance for the professional to help develop strategies and recommendations to lessen the impact of the disorder and help the individual succeed at school, at work, or in other situations.
Testing for APD requires the patient to participate in several listening tests that assess areas of the auditory system. The results of each test are compiled and reviewed to determine if a diagnosis of APD is appropriate.
Prior to beginning the central auditory processing evaluation, an intake process is completed. During the process, we may collect relevant information in the following ways:
After your evaluation, we will schedule a follow-up appointment to review your results. A detailed report of the test results and our recommendations will also be mailed to you. We will make recommendations for further testing as needed and refer your child to the specialty that best fits their treatment needs, which may include speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, optometry, psychology, or neuropsychology.
Some additional criteria for referral to our program include:
