Understanding the nature and impact of listening difficulties is what enables us to put the right support in place. Following assessment, we work with individuals, families, schools and other professionals to develop a personalised management plan.
Management approaches
Environmental strategies
Practical changes to listening environments — at home, in school or at work — that reduce listening effort and improve communication.
Listening technology
Remote microphone systems, FM technology and other assistive listening devices that improve the signal-to-noise ratio in challenging environments.
Auditory training
We can recommend world class evidence-based auditory training programmes designed to improve specific aspects of auditory processing.
School and workplace support
Written recommendations and reports to support access arrangements, reasonable adjustments and educational or workplace support plans.
Onward referral
Where appropriate, referral to other professionals including speech and language therapists, educational psychologists or medical specialists.
Ongoing support
APD management is rarely a one-off event. We offer follow-up appointments to review progress, adjust recommendations and provide ongoing support as needs change over time.
