Description

Morning Overview
This interactive seminar will consider how the latest research and discussion concerning APD impacts on our understanding of the Disorder and how that translates into diagnosis. A new questionnaire will be presented that will be useful for screening, diagnosis and evaluation of intervention. Research data investigating auditory-based deficits in people with listening difficulties will also be presented.

Over the last 5 years an evidence base in management and intervention of APD has finally started to show what strategies should work and what should not work. Presenters will share some cases of children with APD along with their assessment and intervention plans. There will also be focus on the idea of ‘disorder-specific intervention’ and particularly consider the use of wireless communication devices and auditory training as intervention strategies, using illustrative cases.

Afternoon Overview
Only about half of audiology services in the developed, English speaking world currently offer APD assessment and management. Such increasing hesitancy to use current guidelines offers an opportunity to rethink future service delivery. Our aim will be to consider what a new service, designed from scratch, might look like. Dr. Moore will present some ideas from his work on the British Society of Audiology Special Interest Group on APD and from discussion with Harvey Dillon and his colleagues in Australia. Dr. Hunter will present ideas from her experiences in providing interdisciplinary APD services to children in clinics and school settings.

Presenters hope that all those attending this session will come ready to share experience and ideas in a highly interactive and collaborative way. Attendees will be provided with some ideas and questions to facilitate discussion.

About the Presenters
David R. Moore, PhD
Dave Moore has been Director of the Communication Sciences Research Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and a Professor of Otolaryngology at the University of Cincinnati since 2013. In 2014 he was also appointed Professor of Auditory Neuroscience at the University of Manchester. Educated (Ph.D. Monash University) in Australia, he spent his early career at the University of Oxford (1980-2002) working on projects including auditory spatial hearing, biology of deafness, and the consequences of otitis media. He became Professor of Auditory Neuroscience at Oxford in 2000. As Director of the Medical Research Council Institute of Hearing Research, Nottingham (2002-12), he focused on auditory development and learning in humans. In 2008, he also co-founded the clinically-directed UK National Institutes of Health Research ‘Nottingham Hearing Biomedical Research Unit’, refunded in 2011. He has been a visiting scientist at the University of California, Irvine, the University of Washington, Seattle, New York University, and Northwestern University, Chicago. He was the founder of MindWeavers PLC, creating digital learning experiences based on world-leading brain science. In 2010 he was awarded the George Davey Howells prize of the Royal Society of Medicine for editing the three volume “Oxford Handbook of Auditory Science”. In 2015 he received the Editor’s Award of the journal Ear and Hearing for co-authoring the best paper in that journal during 2014, and the Career Award in Hearing or Balance of the American Academy of Audiology.

Lisa L. Hunter, PhD
Lisa Hunter is the Scientific Director for Audiology in the Communication Sciences Research Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and a Professor of Otolaryngology and Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Cincinnati. Lisa has over 25 years of pediatric clinical, research and teaching experience. A graduate and former faculty member of the University of Cincinnati and the University of Minnesota, she developed and directed the Au.D. program at the University of Utah. She was a visiting scientist at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, and has volunteered in Kenya on audiologic missions at a school for the Deaf. Lisa has authored 75 published articles, chapters and books in pediatric audiology and has given over 140 national and international presentations. She is currently doing studies on a range of pediatric hearing loss, funded by the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders and the Centers for Disease Control. Lisa is chair of the Accreditation Commission for Audiology Education (ACAE).
