Abstract

Auditory attention disorders manifested in difficulties in development and perception of the auditory information are among the most common disorders presenting for treatment in children and adolescents. Auditory attention disorders are often associated with co-occurring disorders including difficulties in writing and reading and listening skills, understanding of commands, psychomotor hyperactivity and attention disorders, eventually resulting in poor school performance. Hence, improving auditory stream/processing segregation appears a disorder to being targeted for remediation and treatment with the usage of sound therapy in order to meet one’s particular needs and equalize educational opportunities.
