Seminar: Strategies for children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)

In this 3.5-hour seminar/workshop you will gain a general understanding of CAPD and the type of difficulties these children may experience (particularly in the classroom). You will learn strategies and modifications to apply in the classroom/working environment. This will include two group “breakout sessions” to discuss a case study and your own circumstances/challenges in dealing with these children.
