Abstract

BARRETO, Monique Antunes de Souza Chelminski. Characterization and correlation of developmental dyslexia and auditory processing. Rev. psicopedag. [online]. 2009, vol.26, n.79, pp.88-97. ISSN 0103-8486.

For an appropriate diagnosis and therapeutic intervention, is fundamental to know the communication impairments and its relations. Therefore, the psychopedagoge may employ some tools for an appropriate intervention in developing the oral and written language. It may be considered that, about its characteristics, the dyslexia arises usually at the beginning of reading and written learning, but not before the first or second degrees. Besides, researchers as Estill (2005); Pennington (1997) say that dyslexia forerunners are present before school age. About the hearing process impairments, these may happen in language disturb, getting worse the performance of individuals, in sound comprehension tasks, which demands hearing skills. Such impairments may act as a cause to language difficulties that occur when an individual fails in receiving or recover, by hearing way, what was heard (Pereira, 1996). The aim of this research is to offer a definition for developmental dyslexia, its etiology, incidence, characteristics and intervention as well as a definition for auditory processing, its evaluation methods, characteristics and correlation whith developmental dyslexia. Since this research, it is intended to offer tools to the psycopedagoge in order to interpose efficiently when facing a learner who shows associated developmental dyslexia and auditory processing impairment.
