Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce this Special Issue, “Diagnosis and Treatment of Auditory Processing Disorder in Children”. Auditory processing disorder (APD) is a hearing problem that affects about 3%–5% of school-aged children. Kids with this condition, also known as central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), cannot understand what they hear in the same way that other kids do. This is because their ears and brain do not fully coordinate. Something interferes with the way the brain recognizes and interprets sounds, especially speech. With the right strategies, kids with APD can be successful in school and life. Early diagnosis is important. If the condition is not identified and managed early, a child is at risk of listening and learning problems at home and school.
This Special Issue aims to compile comprehensive and current reviews, along with original research articles, focusing on diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, we aspire to explore the emerging era of APD diagnosis and management. We eagerly anticipate receiving your valuable contributions to advance our knowledge in this exciting field.
Dr. Gianluca Piras
Guest Editor
