LIVING AND WORKING WITH A CENTRAL
AUDITORY PROCESSING DISORDER (CAPD) Judith W. Paton, M. A., Audiologist
The easiest, quickest way to communicate is simply to say something and then deal with the other person's reply, right? Right, unless your listener has a CAPD (Central Auditory Processing Disorder), then your remark might come through with certain words drowned out by other noises, or with some words sounding like different words or as meaningless strings of verbiage. You might begin to suspect this when the other person's expression doesn't register understanding, or if he,"answers the wrong question," or he asks you for additional information which most people would have been able to infer from what you just said. |

I am sure you are aware of people in the music world who are
blind. You may even know someone with a visual problem involved in music. I run a summer Institute which brings together blind high school students from around the United States for the
purpose of preparing for the serious study of music in college.
As I tell you about the program and the teaching techniques we
use, I hope it will start you thinking about how you might
include a blind student of any age in music activities, if one
should enroll in your class. |
