Central auditory processing (CAP) disordered language impaired (LI) children have listening, language and learning difficulties that come to the attention of both the audiologist and the speech-language pathologist. Traditionally, the former has been resposible primarly for CAP diagnosis and the latter has been assigned the task of remediation. In this article, the contributions of both professionals to the diagnosis and management of this population are discussed. The variables that can compound the evaluative and therapeutic efforts of audiologists and speech-language pathologists are examined and used to show that shared professional perspectives are the most efficacious ones.
