what is lax criteria
failing just one test is enough to receive a CAPD
diagnosis.
Failing 1 test ( >2 SD)
what is intermediate criteria
failing two or more tests with scores more than 2 standard deviations (SD) below the mean (> 2 SD) is considered abnormal.
what is strict criteria
Patients must fail every test they take in order to receive a diagnosis. If a battery includes four tests, the patient must fail all four. Failing only three tests out of
four would not result in a CAPD diagnosis, even though the patient demonstrated difficulties in
most areas.
fail all tests by >2 SD
after CAPD testing how would you counsel a parent on abnormal vs. normal results AND diagnosed vs not diagnosed
management and recommendations for CAPD for a child diagnosed with CAPD vs a child not diagnosed with CAPD
diagnosed - preferential seating, FM system, auditory training, SLP, can recommend getting a 504 plan
not diagnosed - do not dismiss concerns, can refer to SLP is its a processing issue or psychologist for ADHD and learning disorders
what does failing ACPT tell us
ACPT is used to identify children with ADHD not CAPD therefore failing this test means testing can not be continued because you can not get a CAPD diagnosis if you have ADHD
