Question

What is schema induction (reduction)?

Answer

This is the adoption of a set of remediation approaches or methods found to be particularly effective in addressing either one or a composite of auditory processing problems.  The idea is to select from the several available approaches, a single approach or a small set of approaches, that can maximize positive remediation outcomes.  Schema induction is viewed as a “top-down” strategy because it requires consideration of not only central auditory performance, but also more global communication performance, and subsequent learning.

There is a good deal of confusion among audiologists and speech-language pathologists when a diagnosis of “processing disorder” is introduced. This course presents a continuum model to differentiate processing disorders into acoustic, phonemic, or linguistic aspects so that assessment and treatment can become more focused and effective. The roles of audiologists and SLPs in relation to processing disorders are described, and compensatory strategies for differing aspects of processing are presented.
