Services for children with central auditory processing disorder in the Republic of Ireland: current and future service provision.

Purpose: An interdisciplinary research group was established to investigate current and future service provision for children with central auditory processing disorder ([C]APD) in the Republic of Ireland. The aim of Phase 1 was to identify current awareness and knowledge of (C)APD among the relevant professionals in Ireland, including level of service provision, if any, available for children with (C)APD. The aim of Phase 2 was to explore the initial steps required to develop an integrated service for children presenting with (C)APD.
