Background: A standardized questionnaire on central auditory processing disorders ["Anamnesebogen zur Erfassung auditiver Verarbeitungs- und Wahrnehmungsstörungen (AVWS)"] was developed by the German Society of Phoniatrics and Pediatric Audiology and standardized for school-age children. This study was designed to elucidate the validity of this questionnaire in preschool children.
Methods: The responses, which were given by the parents of 84 preschool children with respect to auditory discrimination and auditory memory, were correlated with the results of the Heidelberg screening test for preschool children (HVS), and their accuracy of prediction was determined.
Results: Similar to the results of other studies in school-age children, weak but significant correlations were found between the questionnaire results regarding auditory discrimination and auditory memory and the respective results of the HVS subtests. With a few exceptions, the questionnaire's accuracy of prediction was low.
Conclusion: For preschool children, the questionnaire provides a reasonable method to get specific information about a child's history in a standardized and economic way. However, it is not valid as a screening or diagnostic tool.
