Screening Tests
– Gap Detection: Indicates presence of a temporal processing problem which may influence the ability to comprehend running speech

Diagnostic Tests
– Filtered Words: Indicates ability to process speech when the signal is distorted or compromised by a poor acoustic environment
– Competing Words (Directed Ear): Dichotic listening task indicates a child’s auditory maturation or developmental level
– Competing Sentences: Provides information about the maturation of the auditory nervous system
