Dichotic listening training in children with autism spectrum disorder: A single subject design.

Objective: Previous research has shown that dichotic listening training has improved auditory and language processing for individuals with large interaural asymmetries on dichotic listening tasks. This training can be a useful treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Design: A sing...

      ab: Objective: Previous research has shown that dichotic listening training has improved auditory and language processing for individuals with large interaural asymmetries on dichotic listening tasks. This training can be a useful treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Design: A single subject, multiple baseline across subjects study was utilized.Study sample: Three children with ASD, between the ages of 8–12, participated in the study.Results: This training demonstrated improvement in language and auditory processing tasks following completion of up to twelve weeks of auditory training.Conclusion: This study supports the idea that deficit specific, dichotic auditory training can remediate auditory and language deficits for children with ASD. More research is needed, with a group design and controls, in order to generalize these results to the larger ASD population.
