[QUOTE="daralex, post: 210468, member: 4467"] I had my Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) 14 yr old difficult child evaluated by an audiologist when she was 9 (they say the test is not effective prior to that age) We actually had to pay privately as the school wouldn't do it (I've learned much more on how to get them to do things over the years) She was tested by a speach therapist first and then the audiologist. All I can tell you is what I see the most with her: The information goes in, but is incredibly difficlut to retriveve I have to repeat things a hundred times before she "gets it" She would lose her head if it weren't attached to her body - she loses and forgets everything! She needs info/directions in short chunks - too much at once overwhelms her and she cannot "remember" There are many different aspects to this disorder and not all kids have the same symptoms. For her it is kind of like short term memory loss, great difficulties with organization, and many times is too overwhelmed when presented with a lot of info at once. It sounds to me like the audiologist is the way to go. All I can say is that it has been and will continue to be a hard road for us. Her inteligence tests keep saying she is within normal ranges - but the Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) changes all of that and no one seems to want to recognize it. Have your child tested - learn more about the disorder and become the best advocate you can be for your difficult child. God luck - and you are not alone!!! -dara [/QUOTE]
