[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 608865, member: 13003"] Because not all forms of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) affect speech. Auditory figure ground is one of the types of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) that does NOT affect speech... some SLPs are able to screen for this, many don't do these detailed screenings (lack of equipment, for one thing). The number of kids who have problems with auditory figure ground and who never get help, is surprisingly high. Our PhD Audiology specialist said she gets referrals for maybe 10% of the volume of kids she should be seeing... and she's the only one doing testing in our area. As far as medications go... the two oldest ADHD medications are methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, others), and Dexedrine (don't remember the generic name). Both are very fast acting... as in, the body breaks these down and gets them out of the system in less than a day. This is partly why they get used for early trial medications... short-acting Ritalin has an effective dosage life of about 3.5 to 4 hours, and is out of the body in 8. If it doesn't work... you can adjust the dosage tomorrow. If there's a reaction, you just stop taking it. [/QUOTE]
