Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)
Reading Difficulties
On average, students with a prior CAPD diagnosis who received Seeing Stars instruction achieved significant improvements in reading. They made large (statistically significant) standard score changes on seven of eight measures. Vocabulary was not a targeted measure of instruction. The 14-point percentile increase in Word Recognition put these students within the normal range (25th–75th percentile). Additionally, the large average standard score change on the Written Language Comprehension measure indicates strong improvement in the ability to understand what is read.
