In 1996, ASHA addressed the need for appropriate tools to screen for (C)APD; yet, no universally accepted screening tool has been identified. The purpose of the current study was to determine if Fisher's Auditory Problems Checklist (Fisher, 1976) is a useful screening tool. A Chi Square goodness-of-fit found that children who scored at or below cutoff on Fisher's Checklist were significantly more likely to receive a diagnosis of (C)APD (X21 = 22.5, p < 0.05) based on the Buffalo Model Diagnostic Test Battery. The current study offers preliminary support for the clinical usefulness of Fisher's Auditory Problems Checklist (Fisher, 1976) as a screening tool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
