Description
Dr. Mike Wolff sits down with Dr. Jeremy Sharp to talk through the ins and outs of Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) in this information-packed interview. Dr. Sharp specifically addresses how CAPD has come up in his practice, yet the research is mixed on the validity of the diagnosis. So, in their discussion, Dr. Wolff presents a thoughtful and compelling case for considering CAPD as a “thing,” when testing for learning disorders and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Below are the bullet points from their conversation:
- Definition of CAPD
- Who can (or should) diagnose CAPD?
- How is CAPD similar and different to existing diagnoses like ADHD, language disorders, and autism spectrum disorders?
- What are the available treatments for CAPD?
