Summary
This study aimed to create and validate a screening tool for auditory processing disorder (APD) in children aged 7 to 13. The tool combines a parent and teacher questionnaire with a short set of hearing tests. The goal was to see if it could accurately identify children who need further testing for APD. However, the study was terminated early after enrolling only 16 participants, so its findings are limited.
