| Abstract: | Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a screening questionnaire for
auditory processing disorder (APD) targeted for the Maltese pediatric population. Method: The questionnaire consisted of 25 close-ended questions in which parents rated their child’s listening skills. The data was collected from 101 typically developing Maltese bilingual children and 30 children forming a clinical group, aged between 7;00 and 9;11 years. Results: The tool was found to be highly reliable with an internal consistency of 0.92 and test-retest reliability of 0.94. Significant differences emerged between normal and clinical groups (p = <0.001). Correlational analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between the Questionnaire of (Central) Auditory Processing (QCAP) and the speech-in-noise test, Duration Patterns Test and tests of dichotic listening. Conclusion: The QCAP is potentially an effective screening tool for highlighting listening diffculties in Maltese children at risk of having APD. |
