Abstract

Telerehabilitation is defined as the use of a set of information and communication resources and technologies that enable remote treatment. With the advancement of technology of extensive applicability, telerehabilitation can supply or minimize the difficulties in children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). The objective of this study is to compare the performance of children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder through the use of the Cognitive Auditory Training Program-PAC Online, made possible in the face-to-face modality and through telerehabilitation (through a WEB platform built for this purpose), and their contributions to a curriculum adapted to their needs and difficulties. The sample consisted of 23 children between 7 and 9 years of age, with a history of school difficulties, 13 from Group I - telerehabilitation and 10 from Group II - acoustically controlled auditory training in a cabin, in 10 half-hour sessions. The tests used were PSI in the MCI S/R -15 condition, and DD, in the skills of binaural integration and separation. Parents responded to the QFisher questionnaires. The results show the effectiveness of cognitive auditory training through telerehabilitation, with performance equivalent to acoustically controlled neurocognitive auditory training. The platform content is effective for auditory training for both acoustically controlled auditory training and telerehabilitation. The shortening of distances promoted by telerehabilitation favors both people who live in regions without specialist professionals, as well as those who live in large cities, favoring the frequency of auditory training and improving students' school
