Abstract

Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is a condition in which sounds are not processed well by the auditory cortex. This disorder is often associated with others, such as dyslexia or autism spectrum disorder. Nowadays, there are many therapeutic methods for CAPD. One of them is active auditory training Neuroflow. Seven-years old boy on the autism spectrum disorder underwent the CAPD diagnostics using Neuroflow tests. He reported troubles with concentration, aural memory, understanding speech and hyperacusis. He also has significant problems in school due to that disturbances. After starting Neuroflow therapy, significant, but gradual progress was noticed in his both everyday and school life. Two more diagnostic sessions were performed and the results were getting better every time. Neuroflow is a tool used in various therapeutic disciplines. It is distinguished by its versatility, online conducting and parental participation. This type of therapy can be helpful in the treatment of not only CAPD, but also similar disorders, such as ASD.
