Welcome To Royal Arch Research Assistance

Royal Arch Research Assistance (R.A.R.A.) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt foundation incorporated in the State of Kentucky in 1974. The purpose of the organization is to research and promote solutions to Central Auditory Processing Disorder or CAPD.

R.A.R.A. supports research seeking the understanding of and a cure for Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), the relationship between CAPD and Autism, and Gaps in Noise Auditory Processing Test for Service Members.

R.A.R.A. does not directly fund treatment centers or hospitals, instead it focuses on funding researchers in CAPD, setting them on a lifelong career path to conquering the disease. R.A.R.A. has special relationships with the Hearing Health Foundation and Autism Speaks whose board members suggest and vet researchers for R.A.R.A. funding.

What is Central Auditory Processing Disorder?

What Dyslexia is to the eyes, CAPD is to the ears. With this condition people can’t understand what they hear in the same way others do. This is because their ears and brain don’t fully coordinate. Something interferes with the way the brain recognizes and interprets sounds, especially speech.
