Remediation of spatial processing disorder (SPD)

Abstract

Objective: To determine the efficacy of deficit-specific remediation for spatial processing disorder, quantify effects of remediation on functional listening, and determine if remediation is maintained. Design: Participants had SPD, diagnosed using the Listening in Spatialised Noise–Sentences test. The LiSN and Learn software was provided as auditory training. Post-training, repeat LiSN-S testing was conducted. Questionnaires pre- and post-training acted as subjective measures of remediation. A late-outcome assessment established long-term effects of remediation. Study sample: Sixteen children aged between 6;3 [years; months] and 10;0 completed between 20 and 146 training games. Results: Pos..
