Study on the informational behavior of parents of children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (DPAC), with the purpose of analyzing their needs and seeking information about the subject before diagnosis and what they know today, what their informational needs and how they seek to inform themselves. It is based on a bibliographical and exploratory research about informational behavior through the behavioral models proposed by scholars (Wilson, 2000) and Choo (2006), as well as on the auditory processing and the disturbance that occurs and which compromises learning and Quality of life of children, youth and adults. The research data were collected at the Milton Pereira de Melo Charitable Association, through a questionnaire to the participants and were evaluated based on a qualitative approach, seeking to understand the parents' behavior on the needs and the use of information. The results indicate that the informational needs evidenced are still very much in force and far from being totally remedied, even the parents having acquired knowledge about DPAC, there are still many doubts that need to be clarified in order to guarantee a better quality of life for the children. Their searches for information are influenced by factors that are at their fingertips, such as using the internet and consulting professionals who care for their children. It is concluded that the results obtained by the research were satisfactory, since the DPAC theme is still little publicized in society in general, collaborating so that the parents have great concern for the future of their children.
