[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 433825, member: 11791"] We've had to learn the hard way. You CANNOT fix the behavior, until you fix the CAUSE. Medical comparison: A fever is the body's behaviour to any number of problems. You can treat the fever - tylenol etc. - but it doesn't solve the problem. You HAVE to find and fix the problem... infection? disease? something else? It really does matter. That doesn't mean you IGNORE the behavior... its a bit of a catch-22. But you will NOT solve it until you get to the bottom of it. {hugs} - DF, you're actually making more progress than you think - I see it in the tone of your postings! Keep it up! And, for the record, you do NOT, ever, outgrow a Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) diagnosis. You might learn some better coping skills, but probably not. Your language skills might improve, but your auditory filtering probably won't... and THAT can cause all kinds of problems. Is there no independent Speech Language Therapist in your area? That person would do the initial re-screen, and then would know what other resources to pursue if necessary - but likely, a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) re-screen would be enough to re-validate Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). Ask specifically about "auditory filtering and auditory focus", as these are more recently recognized than when you had your last testing. [/QUOTE]
