Document Summary
Series of tests have been developed for assessing capd in children. Some tests are monaural, others binaural: goal is not to identify an anatomic lesion, but to help figure out the modalities that the child has the most difficulty with so that the child"s environment can be adapted accordingly. Careful how you talk to parents can hear something is wrong with his brain . Low pass filtered speech: speech has a bandwidth of 250-4000 hz, speech is passed through a filter that cuts out everything above about 800 or 1000 hz, some studies have shown that in patients with known pathology. Remember that more often than not the child that is referred to you for a capd evaluation is not the child who is doing great academically. This label may be the way that child can get the services he or she needs. Perhaps a label of capd is better than a label of bad kid or dumb kid .
