[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 509872, member: 13003"] There are Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) screening tests that can be done... here, that is where they start with tracking down Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) issues. But I'm not a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), and don't know what the age ranges are for specific tests. If the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) screening shows Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) abnormalties, then the advanced audiologist takes over - NOT an ENT... which may be part of the confusion. Do you know what tests specifically the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) has run? And whether the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is aware of ways to screen for Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), auditory figure ground, and other APDs? We were told to differentiate between "screen" and "test"... in many areas, the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) will "refer" to audiology or others for more detailed testing, so the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) "testing" is called "screening" instead. If nothing shows up on the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) screening, no referal is given. [/QUOTE]
