The terms Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) or Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) describe a variety of problems that interfere with the processing of auditory information including auditory figure-ground problems, auditory memory problems, auditory discrimination problems, auditory attention problems and auditory cohesion problems. Auditory processing difficulties can affect both children and adults. Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) or Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) is not a hearing impairment, but an inefficient processing of what is being heard.
