This research aimed to verify the effects of computerized auditory training (CAT) through the use of software in students, age between 7 and 8 years old and 11 months, with APD with and without alteration of speech using behavioral measures, electrophysiological, psychoacoustics and its correlations. The sample was composed of 14 children who have gone through a basic audiometric evaluation subsequently conducted the auditory process-AP behavioral tests (Random Gap Detection Test–RGDT, Pediatric Speech Intelligibility-PSI e Teste Dicótico Não Verbal-TDNV) and Auditory Evoked Potential Long Latency (LLAEP-P300) and the Phonological Evaluation of the Child. In addition to Scale of Auditory Behaviors–SAB administered to parents. After, were divided into two groups: G1 - children with APD and typical phonological acquisition and G2 - children with APD and acquisition of atypical speech, all received 12 CAT sessions held twice a week. Two weeks after completion of therapy intervention, there were again evaluated by behavioral assessments, electrophysiological and SAB scale. For data analysis, we used the McNemar test for verification of categorical variables, Mann-Whitney test for analysis of numeric values between groups, Wilcoxon test to compare the pre- and post-CAT, and the level of significance of 5% (p <0.05). In addition to analysis of the scores obtained on the scale SAB used the Spearman correlation test. This dissertation is structured in the alternative model, which includes introduction, literature review, general methodology, followed by two articles, general discussion that integrates the results of both articles, conclusion, bibliographic references and annexes. According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that the CAT was effective in improving the gnosis auditory processes related to behavioral tests of auditory processing (RGDT and TDNV) in schoolchildren from seven to eight years and eleven months diagnosed with APD, with the acquisition of typical and atypical speech. It was also observed, biological modifications through latency measures of the waves LLAEP. These findings show the effect of the plasticity of the central nervous system after therapeutic intervention. In addition, there were functional changes seen by SAB scale.
