The two things that are red flags to me in identifying clients who need screened for CAPD: 1) The Huh Kid (as you have described)...sometimes it feels as if I'm speaking a foreign language to them. I see them trying to figure out what I've said, but it doesn't compute. 2) Kids who mix up similar sounding words either speaking or hearing. I find this more often with brighter kids with a large vocabulary. "The Blank Look" is common...and the kids I've seen never complain about hearing issues....they just tell me they don't understand. Public schools have a simple CAPD screening tool they can give. But I usually suggest an audiologist who will give a very thorough hearing test initially to rule out normal hearing issues before giving the more advanced CAPD tests.
