Comparison of phonemic awareness in children with auditory processing disorder and children without auditory processing disorder using an objective test for assessing phonemic hearing: A preliminary study
Highlights
• Phonemic hearing deficits in auditory processing disorder (APD): Children with APD exhibit significant impairments in phoneme discrimination, underscoring core processing challenges.
• 62.9% higher phonemic error rate vs peers: Quantitative analysis reveals that APD diagnoses correspond with a marked increase in phonemic mistakes compared to non-APD children.
• Early phonemic assessment and intervention boost outcomes: Timely diagnosis and targeted therapy for phonemic disorders enhance both academic performance and emotional well-being in APD-affected children.
• Specialized phonemic rehabilitation needed for APD: Results highlight the importance of developing and implementing tailored therapeutic protocols to address phonemic hearing issues in pediatric APD.
