Session Description
Morning session: This seminar seeks to demonstrate the utilization of the Buffalo therapy model/Central Test Battery as a viable and innovative means to diagnose Auditory Processing Disorders (APD).

Specific categories of auditory processing disorders are described identifying the behavioral, academic and clinical indicators that can be observed by each type. A question/answer period will follow.
 
Afternoon session: This seminar and practical application session will focus on newly developed tools that have been developed for use by audiologists and speech and language pathologists to test and administer therapy to people who have auditory processing deficits using current technology.
