ABC dEcode® and
Central Auditory Processing Deficit Disorder
In normal development, a child learns to interpret language through
imitating sounds they hear, beginning with single sounds through to combinations
of sounds into words, and ultimately into complex sentences. This ability
requires AUDITORY PROCESSING.
If there is some delay in the development of this auditory pathway to
the brain in a child with normal hearing and intelligence, this could
be caused by a Central Auditory Processing Deficit or Dysfunction (CAPD).
In other words, when auditory processing abilities are disrupted for
any reason, a series of consequences are likely to occur. First, the child
may not have the neurological and sensory potential necessary to develop
and organize a linguistic system. The more severe the auditory processing
abnormalities, the greater the effect on language, and thus the greater
the potential effect on reading.
The process of learning to read, even in normal development, is much
more difficult than learning to speak. This is due to the fact that the
mastery of the sounds learned in early childhood now have to match the
combination of letters that make up our language, the internal phonological
structure of syllables and the mapping of the sound(s) onto the letter
symbols. For an individual with Central Auditory Processing Deficit, this
process is even more difficult.
ABC dEcode® has been proven highly successful in helping the student
with a Central Auditory Processing Deficit. It's systematic, progressive
method helps connect the missing links in the auditory pathways so the
student learns to read, and also improves the intake of general information.
Individuals have improved significantly over a four to eight
month period on tests of auditory processing skills, utilizing ABC dEcode®
for only 10 to 15 minutes per day, 4 to 5 times per week!
