[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 482467, member: 13003"] Dear Janet... There are several difficulties, of course... not the least being that these dxes (Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)) don't carry a whole lot of weight ANYWHERE in the world! But... there are no other dxes that cover these needs. NONE. At least, nothing I can find anywhere, that even begins to address the accommodations and interventions necessary. If anyone out there can help document other ways to get what is needed, that would be most useful. APDs - especially non-classical forms - are getting almost NO attention anywhere. Interestingly enough, it wasn't a problem 30 years ago... because back then, classrooms were MUCH more quiet, especially when the teacher spoke. Fighting to hear wasn't really a problem. Now... there is always noise. So, kids who can't process background noise go off the deep end... and it get labelled a "behaviour problem". <insert scream> Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) has a raft of labels that have been used over the years... and a million times that in misconceptions and invalid assumptions. These kids do NOT grow out of it. And no, their work refusal is not a "behavior problem" either. Therefore, not only am I continuously ON the soapbox, I have had to BECOME the soapbox. Somehow, somewhere, somebody has to raise the awareness of these hidden disabilities. For now, at least here, I guess that's me. :soapbox: [/QUOTE]
