ABSTRACT
Background:
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) affects 2–7% of school-age children. Diagnosis of APD is challenging and there is a need for an adequate, valid, and reliable tool for its screening and diagnosis. The aim of our work was to adapt the Children’s Home Inventory for Listening Difficulties (CHILD; version for parents) into Polish, evaluate its psychometric properties, and assess its potential usefulness as a screening tool.
Material and methods:
There were 239 parents who participated in the study. Their children were 113 girls and 126 boys aged 5–12 years old (average 8.6 years). Two psychoacoustic tests were conducted on the children: the Frequency Pattern Test (FPT) and the Duration Pattern Test (DPT). The parents filled in two questionnaires: the Children’s Home Inventory for Listening Difficulties (CHILD) and the Scale of Auditory Behaviors (SAB).
Results:
Reliability of measurements was good, and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.93) showed a high internal consistency for CHILD. Correlation between the CHILD and SAB scores was moderate (r = 0.66), but correlations with the psychoacoustic tests were low (r = 0.18 for FPT and 0.29 for DPT). CHILD did not show any difference between children who had normal and abnormal results in the psychoacoustic tests. A ceiling effect was evident for all 15 items of CHILD, with parent scores being generally high (average 6.93) on a scale from 1 to 8 points.
Conclusions:
In screening for Auditory Processing Disorder, the CHILD questionnaire (version for parents) can be used to assess children’s communication difficulties and listening and understanding skills in various home situations. However, for application to Polish children generally it needs to be verified in other study samples.
