[QUOTE="justour2boys, post: 230758, member: 6235"] Like DaisyFace above, I have a difficult child with Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) (Auditory Processing Disorder). He was first screened by an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) (speech and language pathologist) privately and by the school. Both agreed he had the learning disability, but needed to wait for an Audiologist to confirm. Well, most Audiologist will not test until age 7 due to the complexity of the testing. So at age 7 (third grade) he was tested and the diagnosis was confirmed. The school accepted the diagnosis and while he did not qualify for an IEP (long story) he did qualify for a 504 plan. His 504 plan has many classroom modifications to help him. We also did several therapies and tutoring out side of the school. So, based on your post, I would recommend (in writing) the school's Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) screen your daughter for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and give her a basic hearing test. Then I would try to find an Audiologist in your area that does Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) testing. But remember, they may ask you to wait until she is 7. But in the mean time, here are some resources. My favorite Special Education info web site is Wright's Law. My favorite book about Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) is "When the Brain Can't Hear" by Terri Bellis. Amazon has it and also check your local library. Also, there is a home base therapy program to try - Earobics. Some schools have the program but there is also a home-based program. If you have any additional question about Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), please feel free to drop me an email off group. [/QUOTE]
