[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 310346, member: 6546"] Hi Shari-- Yes, my daughter has Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). We were allowed to be present during the testing and I must say it was EYE-OPENING! The audiologist presented her with a list of four words and asked her to repeat them back--and difficult child really struggled with the task. It looked like she was paying attention and understood everything, but the words she repeated back were sometimes only half-right and sometimes only guesses. Also, when difficult child was given a story to read and asked to explain what she read, she had no trouble repeating back the story--HOWEVER when she had to [I]listen[/I] to a story and explain it, she was hopelessly lost, again only guessing at what she had heard. As a result of this testing, we learned to speak slowly and double-check that difficult child heard and understood what was being told to her by asking her to repeat back our instructions. We also asked all of her teachers to be sure and provide her with [I]written[/I] instructions to accompany any lessons that were presented verbally. This diagnosis could be a huge breakthrough for you and your family--I know it felt that way for us! --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
