My 9 yr old (4th grade) DS has Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) (auditory processing disorder) and it "looks" alot like ADD/ADHD... but it is not. The are no medications that can assist Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). There are medications that can help with any co-morbid diagnosis which in turn can help Auditory Processing Disorders (APD).
Meaning if she has anxiety on top of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), a medication might help relieve some of the anxiety, therefore it would be easier to focus.
Does she have an IEP or 504 plan?
My DS has a 504 plan which is pretty detailed as far as classroom supports/modifications. Plus he has a field FM system in the classromm and that not only helps him, but the whole class.
There are some therapies that can help with Auditory Processing Disorders (APD).
As a side note, I have one of each, an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) DS and an ADHD DS... and my Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) DS is the most disorganized person I know! My ADHD DS is actually very organized! Go figure!
