The Auditory Processing Abilities Test (APAT)

The Auditory Processing Abilities Test (APAT) is a nationally standardized, norm-referenced auditory
processing battery for use with children ages 5-0 through 12-11. It may be used for the following the
identification of children who are at risk or who may be experiencing Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
and  to determine a child's specific strengths and weaknesses among a number of auditory processing
skills; document a child's improvement in auditory processing skill abilities as a result of therapeutic
interventions. The APAT was developed using a model based on a hierarchy of auditory processing skills
that are basic to listening and processing spoken language. These skills range from sensation to memory
to cohesion.

The APAT is comprised of 10 subtests that quantify a child's performance in various areas of auditory
processing:
