Transcript of Characteristics Difficulty remembering what they have heard Difficulty understanding what is heard...
Auditory Processing Disorder
Interference with the ability to analyze or make sense of information taken in through the ears and how the brain
processes it.
Characteristics
Difficulty remembering what they have heard
Difficulty understanding what is heard
Information may be interpreted differently than was stated
Poor discrimination of sounds
Difficulty sequencing sounds
Difficulty blending sounds to words
Difficulty following multistep directions
Difficulty following long conversations
Difficulty answering simple “wh” questions (who, what , where, when, why)
Difficulty listening and discriminating in noisy settings
May appear to tune out what is being said
Stop & Jot:Based on the characteristics, which students come to mind?
How does it manifest in the classroom?
Classroom Strategies
Blending & segmenting sounds is difficult
Small group drill/practice stretching out the sounds.
Build phonological skills with rhyming, blending and discrimination games.

Classroom Strategies
Difficulty discriminating different sounds (ch/g, b/p, e/i)
Teach them to touch vocal chords and feel for voiced and unvoiced sounds; teach mouth positions for forming different sounds (e.g. “e” vs. “i”).

Classroom Strategies
Sequencing of sounds heard by student may be off (e.g., “elelant” instead of “elephant”.)
Divide syllables and show with a visual; underline vowels and scoop syllables.
Provide visual writing of a word as you say it (allows students to see and hear at the same time).
Turn & Talk:
* Which strategies have you tried and found successful?
* Name a new strategy that you’d like to try on!

Pictorials or storyboards.

Ask questions and give student time to process information prior to coming back to them for the answer.
Turn and talk before having to give a whole group answer.
