NEW! Building Sound Connections with APD Therapy

Our Audiologist, Seray, has recently completed the Auditory Processing Institute’s Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) Evaluation and Therapy courses, and is now ready to accept referrals for children and adults who may experience difficulties in interpreting and processing sounds.

What is APD? Auditory processing skills refer to the underlying neurological processes that occur in the auditory pathway allowing individuals to interpret what they hear.

Now, the audiogram reveals an individual’s hearing acuity - it is one thing to know what the ‘ear can hear’ but another thing to know what the ‘brain can understand’. Or as Jack Katz says, auditory processing is ‘what we do with what we hear’.

Auditory Processing Disorder is a term to describe a type of hearing disorder where there is significant deficit in one or more aspects of auditory processing as shown in central tests. At Arches Audiology we use the Buffalo Model for diagnosing and treating auditory processing issues, which was developed by Jack Katz, Ph.D. We also utilise innovative and evidence based computer apps in our evaluation and therapy as required. 

We are committed to helping individuals build sound connections in the home, school, work or social environments. and will provide them with personalised support and interventions throughout their APD journey.
