Abstract
This study surveyed all licensed Arkansas audiologists (N = 127) regarding auditory processing disorders in children and adults, with 16 items covering demographic information, knowledge, identification and diagnosis, service provision, and referral. Analysis indicated 40% and 35% of the 62 respondents were "very" or "somewhat comfortable" with diagnosing auditory processing disorders in adults and children, respectively. In the current work setting, 58% did not provide auditory processing testing, 44% had never performed such testing, and 40% did not answer a question related to referral sources. The lack of consistent testing or referral probably leaves community persons with auditory processing disorders at risk for being overlooked or misdiagnosed.
