[QUOTE="buddy, post: 548256, member: 12886"] Well, if it is the one we used TeDo, she was awesome. Anyway, I didn't need to have any Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) referral, I just said I wanted the evaluation done and MA covered it. It is very different from hearing acuity tests. It tests how the sound travels and is interpreted in the brain in different circumstances. Q had difficulty in the comparison between left and right ears....sound entering the left is not handled by the right brain as it should and can't transfer back to the left for the language it needs. He also could not match pitch patterns and rhythms...they have simple tests for this, another sign of right temporal lobe injury and auditory processing problems. Yeah, it is very different from a typical hearing test...the background noise tests are checking auditory discrimination and can give a hint at processing but are not the processing tests. Still, at this point, would your son really cooperate with any interventions for it? Chances are right now if he wouldn't, it is how they work with him that is still going to be the most important....talking directly to him, making sure they have his attention, checking to see if he understood, use of visuals, repetition, and all the things they suggested. Would be great though if he could have a sound field system...they use it for other things besides Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and it makes sense. If you have trouble with selective attention etc...then having the important voice stand out above other voices and noises would be a benefit I would think...and it is what the research supports. You are really gathering a lot of info that could help him. I wish our boys would not take it out on us/their family! Have you decided on the school plan for sure? [/QUOTE]
