[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 485454, member: 13003"] Lets see... You don't seem to have access to Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) or audiologist resources who are clued into this stuff. However, it seems like you have a fairly good Occupational Therapist (OT). Perhaps you could start with the other set of issues... Has the Occupational Therapist (OT) done an evaluation for sensory issues? that would include sensitivity to sounds etc. Some of what you are describing, sounds more like sensory issues than Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), specifically auditory figure ground... It sounds like he is doing well in school - therefore, understanding teacher instructions, participating in class discussions, etc. In which case... auditory figure ground is not so likely to be a problem. For the record... 70% of kids with ADHD and a learning disability... also have Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). As LDs are fairly commonly co-morbid with ADHD... the Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) will not be uncommon either. But unless they are specifically testing for it... they won't find it. (Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) is not always co-morbid with ADHD, either... its just easier to make the links with ADHD kids because they are a fairly well-known population) [/QUOTE]
