Abstract

It is essential that individuals diagnosed to have an auditory processing problem (APD) be provided appropriate management in order to overcome their diculty to the maximum extent possible. The positive impact of training on individuals with APD has been demonstrated in studies carried outside India as well as within India. In India, studies on the
management of APD have primarily focused on decit specic therapy. These studies have demonstrated positive outcomes for therapy provided for auditory processes such as auditory integration, auditory separation / closure training, temporal integration, and temporal patterning. Decit specic training has been noted to be useful not only in children but
also in older adults with APD. Along with such training, the use of compensatory and coping strategies is recommended to help individuals with APD deal with diculties faced in day-to-day situations. The article provides an overview of the studies carried out in India regarding APD management.
