Hello.
I am new and I have a 10 year old son (difficult child) with AS and BiPolar (BP). I am wondering if he has Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) because he is unable to tell for example, what letter makes the "mmm" sound, yet he reads on a 5th grade level and can sound out the letters if he can see them written down. His trouble is only if you ask him audibly. Also has trouble with multiple directions, easily overwhelmed by too much noise and easily distracted. I have done some research and it seems he would need to be checked out by an audiologist. Does my description sound familiar to anyone else out there? What are the therapies for this? His IEP is coming up and I want to ask for the proper services for him.
Thanks for your time.
