Identification of auditory processing disorders is achieved using questionnaires along with linguistic, non-linguistic, and auditory processing tests. Notably, the questionnaires "Children's Auditory Performance Scale" (CHAPS) and "Auditory Processing Domain Questionnaire" (APDQ) are widely recognized and used. The current study investigated the psychometric properties of the CHAPS and APDQ in Greek Cypriot children.
The CHAPS and APDQ questionnaires were completed by parents of 40 Greek Cypriot children, 16 typically developing (TD) children, and 24 children with a history of Speech Sound Disorders (SSDs).
There were significant differences between the two groups on both questionnaires. Cronbach's alpha was calculated at α = 0.922 for the CHAPS total score and α = 0.926 for the APDQ total score. The Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) analysis provided a cut-off point equal to -0.30 (AUC 0.849, < 0.001) for CHAPS and a cut-off point equal to 90.00 (AUC 0.820, < 0.001) for APDQ. Significant positive Spearman ρ correlations were observed between the CHAPS and APDQ (ρ = 0.639, = 0.001).
The CHAPS and APDQ can identify distinct auditory processing characteristics between in children with SSDs and TD children.
听觉处理障碍的识别是通过问卷以及语言、非语言和听觉处理测试来实现的。值得注意的是，“儿童听觉表现量表”（CHAPS）和“听觉处理领域问卷”（APDQ）这两份问卷得到了广泛认可和使用。本研究调查了CHAPS和APDQ在塞浦路斯希腊裔儿童中的心理测量特性。
40名塞浦路斯希腊裔儿童的家长完成了CHAPS和APDQ问卷，其中16名是发育正常（TD）的儿童，24名有语音障碍（SSD）病史的儿童。
两组在两份问卷上均存在显著差异。CHAPS总分的克朗巴哈系数计算为α = 0.922，APDQ总分的克朗巴哈系数为α = 0.926。受试者工作特征曲线（ROC）分析得出CHAPS的截断点为-0.30（AUC 0.849，P < 0.001），APDQ的截断点为90.00（AUC 0.820，P < 0.001）。CHAPS和APDQ之间观察到显著的正斯皮尔曼ρ相关性（ρ = 0.639，P = 0.001）。
CHAPS和APDQ能够识别出有语音障碍的儿童和发育正常儿童之间不同的听觉处理特征。
