Q

difference between an IEP & 504 plan

A

504: Falls under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a civil rights law that ensures equal access to education by providing accommodations
Broader eligibility; includes any disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities (e.g., learning, walking, concentrating).
Does not require the student to need specialized instruction, only accommodations.
Suitable for students who can succeed in a general education environment with accommodations

IEP: Governed by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Provides specialized instruction and services to meet a child’s unique educational needs
More educational needs
Must have 1 of 13 specific disabilities listed under IDEA (autism, hearing impairment, specific learning disabilities, etc.) and must impact their ability to learn in a general education setting requiring specialized instruction
Best for students needing individualized, intensive educational support

25
what does a deficit in temporal processing look like
challenges in auditory discrimination and resolution affecting reading, spelling, and writing due to difficulty distinguishing phonemes or following rapid speech ex: distinguishing /pa/ from /ba/ affects reading fluency and comprehension due to impaired phonemic awareness
26
what is auditory figure ground
ability to focus on a signal of interest in the presence of background noise
27
deficit in auditory figure ground
difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments leading to challenges in classroom discussions or group learning
28
what is auditory closure
ability to fill in the missing pieces of auditory information fill in the blanks
29
what does a deficit in auditory closure look like
perform poorly on tests that assess auditory closure low pass filtered speech tests speech in nois tests time compressed speech tests difficulty understanding speech in noisy or degraded auditory conditions affects language learning and comprehension issues with language acquisition and vocabulary development phonemic decoding may be affected
30
what is auditory analysis
ability to break down auditory information into its components (e.g., syllables or phonemes) important for distinguishing verb tenses and other morphological markers that may be acoustically distorted or masked by background noise
31
why is auditory analysis important
important for distinguishing verb tenses and other morphological markers that may be acoustically distorted or masked by background noise
32
what does a deficit in auditory analysis look like
challenges with decoding crucial for reading and spelling reading difficulties
33
what is auditory memory
ability to remember auditory information for short or long periods of time
34
what does a deficit in auditory memory look like
poor ability to follow multi-step verbal instructions or remember sequences impacts classroom performance
35
what is auditory sequential memory
recall the order of a series of acoustic stimuli phone numbers, ID numbers, etc.
36
what is auditory short term memory
retain and recall auditory information as it is immediately presented
37
what is frequency resolution
ability of the auditory system to distinguish different frequencies in a sound signal even those that are close together tested using PPST
38
what does a deficit in frequency resolution look like
phonemic processing and suprasegmental cues (intonation, stress, rhythm etc.) crucial for language comprehension and expression
39
what is auditory binaural integration
ability to combine auditory information received by both ears into a unified perception enhances sound clarity, localization and understanding especially in noise relies on the precise timing and intensity cues from both ears to interpret spatial and spectral differences
40
what does a deficit in auditory binaural integration look like
issues understanding speech in complex auditory environments (noise), poor localization, reduced ability to focus on target speaker in group settings leads to challenges working in groups or listening in noisy classes, increased listening fatigue, inability to follow multi-speaker discussions
41
what is dichotic processing
ability to process different auditory stimuli presented simultaneously to each ear. Requires strong interhemispheric communication via the corpus callosum for effective integration and comprehension.
42
what tests dichotic processing
dichotic listening tasks, where each ear receives distinct, competing signals (e.g., words, digits).
43
what does a deficit in dichotic processing look like
Difficulty distinguishing or remembering competing auditory inputs. Left or right ear suppression during dichotic listening tasks, often reflecting hemispheric dominance or interhemispheric transfer issues leads to Trouble processing simultaneous auditory information (e.g., teacher talking while classmates converse). Struggles with tasks requiring split attention or multitasking

70
Which (C)APD test result patterns help with a definitive diagnosis of (C)APD
Must rule out other modalities first before CAPD diagnosis unilateral left ear deficit is more specific and most common pattern on CAPD test battery
71
what is a test battery
Includes a # of tests used to diagnose a certain condition
72
Why should CAPD testing use a test battery and not a single sensitive diagnostic test?
CAPD is not one disorder Clinical presentations can vary resulting from a number of mechanisms and auditory processes affected Different measures are required for accurate assessment of central auditory processes Multiple assessment measures can also help to establish more appropriate management for CAPD
73
another definitive test battery pattern
reduced performance only on the ore difficult auditory portion of the test implies an auditory deficit versus linguistic, cognitive or strictly attention deficits
74
Does (C)APD qualify for an IEP or a 504 and why?
disorders in DSM V are real disorders and are easy to get reimbursement for but if they are not then it is not easy to do because we do not have a well defined clinical diagnostic base singular diagnosis of CAPD = NO IEP but possibly a 504 CAPD in addition to another diagnosis (speech or reading etc.) = IEP & 504 IEP is more educational and created by an interdisciplinary team & 504 is so you can succeed in an educational setting (civil)
75
is CAPD top down or bottom up
capd is bottom-up primarily auditory perceptual deficiencies
76
is adhd top down or bottom up
ADHD is top down global attention/executive functioning disorder
77
describe top down processing
conceptually driven processin Concept-driven, from the "top" (cognition) to the "bottom" (sensory input) Processing guided by prior knowledge, experience, and expectations to interpret sensory information occurs any time a higher-level concept influences the interpretation of lower-level sensory data
78
how does top down processing work
Uses existing knowledge and context to interpret stimuli. Fills in gaps or disambiguates unclear sensory information. Auditory: Understanding speech in a noisy room based on context and familiarity with the language.
79
example of top down processing
reading a partially obscured sentence and filling in missing words based on context
80
bottom up processing
aka data-driven processing Data-driven, from the "bottom" (sensory input) to the "top" (higher cognitive processing) A form of information processing that is guided by input
81
example of bottom up processing
Auditory: Hearing a new song for the first time and processing its melody and rhythm from scratch. Reading unfamiliar words or identifying an unfamiliar taste
82
intervention for top down processing
language skills cognitive strategies metacognitive strategies classroom instructional & learning strategies
83
how does bottom up processing work
Starts with basic sensory information (e.g., detecting edges, colors, or sounds). Combines these elements to form a complete perception. No prior knowledge or expectations are required.
84
what does modality specific mean
processes information specific to a single sensory modality processing auditory information only, processing visual information only etc. brain processes tied to a particular sensory modality (hearing, visual etc.)
85
what does supramodal mean
processes information that transcends individual sensory modalities, allowing integration across different senses understanding the meaning of a word whether it is heard or read brain processes that operate across different sensory modalities (not specific to any one sense and can integrate information from various sources) like sight and sound
86
Controversy: Is (C)APD modality-specific or supra-modal?
according to experts, CAPD is modality-specific perceptual dysfunction meaning that the problems are primarily in the auditory system because of this, it can be differentiated from other conditions where others might be across multiple senses but there is a controversy that capd has multiple modalities that are impaired arguing for supramodal problem this would move the disorder from the audiologic to the psychological domain and maybe outside of the scope of practice for audiologists
87
why is there this controversy
Lack of gold standard gold standard = error free reference standard sensitivity & specificity of tests is poo
88
what is the controversy over
whether capd is a distinct clinical entity that primarily affects the auditory system or if it is a supramodal disorder whether it primarily is a language deficit or an auditory problem whether it manifests as non-auditory factors like attention, cognition, memory and executive function rather than a deficit of auditory processes
89
what is ADHD
ADHD is more global disruption of sensory information and CAPD is associated with disruption of processing of auditory information only common neurobehavioral childhood disorder that primarily affects children and continues into adulthood
90
DSM V essential features for ADHD
present before age 12yrs requires clinical presentation during childhood can be challenging to confirm if it was present before this age impairment observable in at least 2 settings ex: home and school or home and work Clear evidence of interference with developmentally appropriate social, academic, and/or occupational function Observed independently of autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, or other intellectual disorders

95
combined presentation for ADHD
if both A1 and A2 are met for the past 6 months Predominantly Inattentive presentation Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive presentation
96
what is Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive presentation
If criterion A2 (hyperactivity-impulsivity) is met but criterion A1 (inattention) is not met for the past six months
97
what is Predominantly Inattentive presentation
If criterion A1 (inattention) is met but criterion A2 (hyperactivity-impulsivity) is not met for the past six months
98
No diagnostic biological marker for ADHD is currently known
true
99
risk factors for ADHD
low birth weight - two to three fold risk history of child abuse/neglect, multiple foster homes neurotoxin exposure - lead exposure, infections, fetal alcohol syndrome (in-vitro alcohol exposure) genetic & physiologic - significant increase with first-degree biological relatives, visual and hearing impairments, & epilepsy
100
treatment for ADHD
usually a combination of medication, therapy & educational interventions meds: stimulants and non-stimulants to improve focus & reduce hyperactivity therapy: behavioral therapy for learning coping skills and strategies for managing symptoms educational interventions: Accommodations and modifications in school can help children with ADHD succeed academically with appropriate management these individuals can lead successful & fulfilling lives
