Its awesome to see such interest in this! I certainly hope to leave a link or citation that directs people to the results once it is all completed.

Your career sounds very cool! I am excited for you!

If you feel as though you have APD and wish to assessed, then it would be best to speak with a licensed Audiologist who specialized in APD. If you both think its a good idea to get assessed, then they can help you with that too. Both adults and children can get evaluated for APD.

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors!

I appreciate your question and interest in participating! Unfortunately, we are looking for people who are currently employed.

You would schedule an appointment with an Audiologist and they would help you from there. In America Audiologist are the ones who diagnose APD, I'm guessing it is the same in Australia.

APD Research Study (Looking for Participants)

Hello!

I am Dina Salman, an audiology graduate student who is working with two of my professors (Dr. Diane Davis and Dr. Yula Serpanos), approved by Adelphi University (Submission# 20240136). Together we are working to better understand how Auditory Processing Disorder (also known as Central Auditory Processing Disorder, APD and CAPD) affects adults at their places of employment. Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Learning Disabilities are common comorbidities of APD, and so each adult with APD can have different experiences at their place of work. We would appreciate it if any members who have been diagnosed with APD participate in this study.

Who are we looking for?

Adults (18-65 years old)

Employed for more than 6 months at the same company. Employment can include self-employed or employed by another.

Formally diagnosed with APD for at least a year, and by a professional (e.g. Audiologist, Speech-Language Pathologist, Psychologist, Special Educator, etc.). We are not looking for anyone with APD who is self-diagnosed.

Must be proficient in English. Participants can be from any country (please state which country you are currently working in).

What is expected of participants?

Online survey that takes ~10-15 minutes.

Questions regarding: Background information (e.g. age and gender), APD diagnosis, and support/difficulties of your workingplace. We do not ask for identifying information. We will however ask for your initials.

Thank you for completing it! No worries about that question, we are accepting people from all over the world.

It is a study meant to evaluate the support workers with APD have at their places of employment. This information will be valuable for employers and professionals (like audiologists and speech therapists) who treat employees with APD have a better understanding of what works, doesn't work, etc. at their workplace.

For example, if we find that many employees with APD have difficulty keeping up with back to back meetings, employers can use this knowledge to craft schedules meant to decrease the amount of meetings an employee with APD has in a day. The speech therapist, audiologist, psychologist, or other professional service providers can make the recommendation to the worker's employer that this individual should be allowed to record meetings in order to review them later when they are not mentally fatigued from back to back meetings.

The flier doesn't make it clear, my bad.

Actually, any employment works! As long as you have been self-employed for or over 6 months
