[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 78874, member: 23"] My son has Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) also known as Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) (Central Auditory Processing Disorder). There are different types of APDs. Our difficult child has Auditory Cohesion. 1. Auditory Figure-Ground Problems: This is when the child cannot pay attention when there is noise in the background. Noisy, low-structured classrooms could be very frustrating to this child. 2. Auditory Memory Problems: This is when the child has difficulty remembering information such as directions, lists or study materials. It can exist on an immediate basis ("I can't remember it now") and/or a deferred basis ("I can't remember it when I need it for later"). 3. Auditory Discrimination Problems: This is when the child has difficulty hearing the difference between sounds or words that are similar (COAT/BOAT or CH/SH). This problem can affect following directions, reading, spelling, and writing skills, among others. 4. Auditory Attention Problems: This is when the child cannot maintain focus for listening long enough to complete a task or requirement (listening to a lecture in school). Although health, motivation and attitude may also affect attention, among other factors, a child with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) cannot (not will not) maintain attention. 5. Auditory Cohesion Problems: This is when higher level listening tasks are difficult. Auditory cohesion skills - drawing inferences from conversations, understanding riddles, or comprehending verbal math problems - require heightened auditory processing and language levels. They develop best when all the other skills (levels one through four above) are intact. It's been my experience that screens nor routine intelligence test diagnose Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). And they miss lots of things when it comes to Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). Our son was tested via the school district -- it was missed. An audiologist with a subspecialty in Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) is the professional qualified to diagnose APDs. They have specialized equipment to perform the that most school districts typically do not have. Speech-language pathologists provide treatment. Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and ADHD have similar characteristics. The link is part of a website I prepared for difficult child's teachers several years ago. It'll give an overview of how Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) impacts him. He's had Earobics therapy and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) therapy, and it's helped. [/QUOTE]
