Abstract
There is much debate regarding (central) auditory processing disorders, especially treatment, as there is no gold standard to date. Learning and literacy challenges can result from impaired (central) auditory processing abilities and listening difficulties, compromising a child’s academic and social accomplishment.
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of (central) auditory processing training using the adapted translated version of the ”differential processing training” on auditory and cognitive functions in Egyptian dyslexic children with (central) auditory processing disorder in comparison to training with the established Arabic computer-based auditory training program.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 52 dyslexic children with a (central) auditory processing disorder. Using block randomization, the children were divided into two groups: a case group called the DPTP group, and a control group called the CBAT group. Objective assessments were used to assess both groups’ auditory, cognitive, and reading abilities. The DPTP group received rehabilitation using the ”Differential processing training program”, while CBAT received training in a computer-based auditory training program that acted as a control group. Both groups were re-evaluated post-therapy using the same protocol.
Most of the assessed parameters showed statistically significant improvement in both groups when the pre-and post-therapy scores were compared. Furthermore, the DPTP group showed superior performance in the DDT, SPIN test, AFTR, and Stanford Binet scale when comparing percent change between the studied groups.
