The positive impact of training on individuals with APD has been demonstrated in studies carried outside India as well as within India. In India, studies on the management of APD have primarily focused on decit specic therapy. These studies have demonstrated positive outcomes for therapy provided for auditory processes such as auditory integration, auditory separation / closure training, temporal integration, and temporal patterning. Decit specic training has been noted to be useful not only in children but also in older adults with APD. Along with such training, the use of compensatory and coping strategies is recommended to help individuals with APD deal with diculties faced in day-to-day situations.
