SCALE OF AUDITORY BEHAVIORS: NORMATIVE REFERENCE VALUES FOR HEALTHY ARGENTINIAN CHILDREN
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
[b]Background: [/b]A comprehensive assessment of central auditory processing disorders includes parent questionnaires. The Scale of Auditory Behaviors (SAB) was developed to evaluate the limitations and difficulties perceived by guardians of children in everyday activities. The aim of the study was to provide normative data for the SAB for Argentinian healthy children. [b]Material/ Methods:[/b] The parents and guardians of eighty-four children aged 4 and 5 years old, representative of the Argentinian population, completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and the SAB. Normative data were expressed as Mean ± Standard Deviation. Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach’s alphas. [b]Results:[/b] The norms for Argentinian children are: 48.60±7.57. Values <37 points (-1,5 Z-score) indicate the need for an evaluation routing of auditory processing, and values <33 points (-2 Z- score) are indicative of disorder. Internal consistency showed a high SAB reliability (α-Cronbach= 0.84).[b]Conclusions: [/b]With the current norms available, central auditory processing can be evaluated in Argentinian children during pediatric clinical practice.
